I notice that it uses six inks Cyan / Magenta / Yellow / Black / Large Black / Grey.
A curious mixture – first time I’ve seen a printer with two black cartridges – presumably one of which is used for b&w printing only, and the other for colour printer. Odd that it has a grey one too.
My 7 year old MP800 uses two blacks. One is pigment, the other is dye. Grey is an interesting development, and should improve print quality by reducing the "halftoning" that it needs to do. Not that the naked eye can see halftoning on modern printers with their amazingly high resolution (dots per inch).
