Can I use Epson 103 black ink instead of 104 for my ET-2814 due to unavailability?

EPSON AcuTank ET-2814
Hi everyone,
I have an Epson EcoTank ET-2814 printer, and due to the unavailability of Epson 104 black ink, I’m wondering if I can use Epson 103 black ink instead. Will it be compatible, or could this cause any issues with print quality or the printer itself?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Both the 103 and 104 black inks appear to be dye inks - not pigment inks. You can unscrew the heads of the bottles - with some force - and sdwap them on the ink bottles if the 103 won't be accepted mechanically.
