For real, an HP nowadays is even worse at that. They have a setting now called true black that instead of just using the Black Ink that comes with a printer it uses the black ink and a little bit of every color to make it so it’s a darker shade. The result is a darker tone however it blows through your ink even faster because it’s also using your color at the same time.

If I have no more choices … I’d switch to a mechanical Gutenberg press before I go back to inkjet ever again.
