Robert,

What is weak about them? Are they too dark, too light? Flat and greyed out
looking? Make sure you use the right black in for the paper. Using the photo
black on a paper that prefers the matte black will give weal blacks, as will
using the matte black on a paper that needs the photo black...and make sure
you use the right profile, there should be two sets of profiles, one for the
different papers with Matte Blank ink (MK), and one for them with the Photo
Black (PK) ink.
