I have 2 canon printers Pixma ip4000 & ip5000 i have used HP everyday paper in the ip5000 and it was a huge problem so now all i use is Canon high resolution paper for printing DVD covers and Canon photo paper plus glossy for printing my photos which i have 3 digitial camera,s all Canon I never have any problems with printing black with any of these papers Have you got into the property,s of your printer and changed the setting to what paper you are useing as this does make a big difference.
Hope i was of some help
And sorry i have never had an Epson printer to comment on them
Cheers

thanks for your answer yes i have made all the changes that are possible i still think that certain color are not printerfriendly, i`ll try with ohter brand papers, to see if that help`s
