Black Only (was Three Articles)

Daniel:
I'm not familiar with the 2100/2200 but my 1280 has a selection in the
print menu for black, color or custom. When you select "black" it
prints using the black ink only so you get the tone of just the black
ink and nothing else. 
Does a 2100 have this choice? If so, after selecting to just use the
black ink, so you still have a magenta cast?
