> Hi Kip:

I'm curius if you tried the black ink only setting on the S900 before doing 
the b&w photos using all 6 inks?   The inks can be greenish on some 
papers(and they tend to dry down even a bit greener), but on other papers, 
the effect is more neutral.

All the best!

PS- Check out the Epson C82($150/4 inks) as an alternate choice, especially 
on coated watercolor papers, for very nice color and b&w prints.
