One review mentioned the matte black/photo black swapping thing. What does that mean?

It refers to printing on either a) Matte or b)Glossy/Luster paper. When you wish to print on Matte - you have to insert the "Matte Black Ink" cartridge. When you choose to print on Glossy/Luster/Metallic etc - you need to make certain you have the "Photo Black Ink" cartridge inserted. It is a very simple process.

Photo black is glossier for photo printing. Matte black is used for regular printing or where gloss is not desired. They are interchanged in the cartridge holder depending on which type of printing you are doing.

When print a matte photo you have to manually put in Matte ink and when you print a glossy or luster or any other type of print you have to manually change the ink to Photo Ink. It is a hassle but the printer prints amazing prints and that is why it is worth it. Although the 3880 (I think that is the number of the newer printer) does it with a push of a button which would be wonderful. But I'm not buying a new printer. The ink is soooooooooo expensive but the printer does a beautiful job. The b/w glossies are absolutely stunning. Hope all this helps.

There is only one slot for the black ink cartridge. When you are printing on matte paper you need to use a matte black cartridge and when you are printing a photo you need to switch to a black photo cartridge. It's kind of a pain but this printer prints so nice it is worth the trouble. I keep the black cartridge I am not using in a zip lock bag and switch back and forth between cartridges as I need to.

If you intend to use both matte and glossy paper, you have to change one black cartridge each time you swap papers, or you get an incorrect setting for one or the other. This is important in getting best color photo color balance.

Black matte has luster to it, where black hasn't any. I believe the latter is called sometimes dull black.

I switched to a higher quality component in my blend which it the reason for the green tint. I am in the process of improving my packaging and photos within the next few weeks. Thanks for your purchase!

The photos stacked to show color of lighting are wrong the others are correct! ? is also / Key and the \ is above the enter key. I hope this helps....Barry

they are pretty similar but i believe the matte (regular black) has a slightly glossier finish... almost too slight to tell...

The "B" refers to the body color. B=black. At least that's what I have been told. I used the camera about a month and returned it. Great video, but was unimpressed with picture quality. We've had the 100 and 200 model versions and we're disappointed with this model.

I really don't understand what black tab you are refering to without a picture

I just chatted with a rep because I wanted to order one too and they told me you will get a black one. The pictures are incorrect.

Nope. I am not a canon support rep. Just a gal who wanted to put her hard earned cash iron a little camera for travel and not drag the big one around. Thanks for your post. I have been very happy so far with how the pictures are coming out. Except for the lense cover does not close all the waythat which is annoying. So I have to check it everytime to make sure I don't have a black halo in y pictures. Thanks for all these posts.

I got the black case, but it's matte. I'm assuming the other colors would be matte as well.

No. that was one issue i had. you have to take off case as the lens and adjusting needs to be right. If you don't, you'll end up with black rims on your pictures.

That black is shimmer but there are matte blacks in this palette. Actually there are matte and shimmer colours in this palette.

Yeah, it doesn't affect the pictures at all you're right. Sometimes it's annoying when I'm trying to use my 50mm prime, as I have to manually focus that and the blurry line doesn't help.I called Nikon also and they said I could ship it to them and they would look at it. I'm slightly worried to do that because I'm afraid they'll do something to screw it up worse. I guess I can live with it. If you send yours in, could you let me know if they actually fix it by replying here?

Picture It! 7.0 does have a touch-up feature that lets you remove scratches, remove dust and restore old pictures. I haven't used that function but it apparently blends the color from the surrounding areas to cover up the scratches.

They are essentially priced the same and practically do not differ that much. I had both, newer one works better for me in general (and finish-wise, black one goes better with my camera).I guess the old one becomes a collectible now :-)

Hopefully Amazon has not allowed someone to make changes to the stock photos on this item. At the time I sent my product in for sale it was as shown and described. However: I will open a case with Amazon and request confirmation to see if the photos have been arbitrarily changes

Just unpacking mine, believe that one black cartridge is for photo only, i.e. the small one that matches the color ones. Large one lower quality for general text use.Try double checking one of the computer mags on this....LPS my concern is that directions say standard computer paper only in front tray, back tray for quality photo paper. And that 4 x 6 is only photo size that works?????Any input appreciated, I M on hold now, its only unpacked....
