Exactly.  Honestly, if you want to switch back and forth to color with 
this printer then the best idea is just to put the UT yellow-position 
grey in the Magenta slot and just switch the blacks as needed.  That 
way you only have to switch one ink to move between BW and color.

Obviously what we need here is a 9 channel printer to get really great 
BW and color on both matte and RC papers...I wouldn't hold my breath 
for epson to produce that however.
