Thanks for your input. What I may not have explained all that clearly is that on the To Print page
there is a choice. One can mark "color" or "black&white". I realized that it no longer mattered if
I chose "black&white", any color item would print in color. (First noticed in a banner whose color
didn't matter to me, looked just as good in b&w.

You need to clarify some things.
A. You are not using new Epson cats and the problem only showed up after you put in some other band. Right? Wrong. Am using non-Epson
cartridges, have been for a long time. There's no correlation with the b&w-color problem
B. You have not had nay other issues with the printer.
Right, I haven't
C. You print a black and white document and color fringes show around the letters and so you reason that that it is using color ink to create a black area. Right?
No. Per above, I realized it when I printed a color banner. Tested on several other pages. Anything in color printed in color, no matter which I chose on the To Print page.
And no, I don't want to print color photos in black and white, as a rule.
I'm not surprised that, as you say, "When black ink level is low, color ink is used to continue print ..." Epson, cartridge-wise, couldn't be sleazier. Vampires.
Anyway, thanks for your input.
