Printer ink not black in IR

The black tiles on my chessboard are not so black when viewed through an infrared camera. Why so?

The board is printed using a regular Cannon ink printer. Should I go hunting for a laser printer? What are my options if I want my IR camera to see printed black?

All the best Carl Emil

EDIT: I found that the IR wave length is 850nm. Still looking for a solution though. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/Kinect-dk/hardware-specification#depth-camera-supported-operating-modes
