Yes, that is normal on the first install Jamie. This is because the initialization needs to fill all the ink system with ink (tubes/lines, print head etc.). After that, it will not waste as much ink.
The video demonstrates loading glossy ink but in the last seconds of the video , the LCD panel displays matte paper. Is this a mistake? Should not the LCD panel say glossy paper after some required keypad navigation?
No, it is a misconception that the gloss ink set is only for use on gloss media. In fact it is a general purpose ink for use on both matte, semi-gloss, satin and gloss media. The matte ink (MK cartridge) is only aimed at a very specific use case involving certain non-inkjet coated matte media types which can result in the standard ink producing a charcoal grey result. For most cases the standard gloss (BK) ink is the best choice.

The ink levels were really low after initialisation. Is that normal?
