Digital BW, The Print

Tim,

If you want to use a 6 ink color ink printer for B&W you have two
choices,  just use the black ink, or use black plus mixing color inks
to get gray.  Both of those choices are available with the Epson
driver so I can't see much benefit from using QTR in this case.
The 7-ink printers are different in that there's a light-black which
allows an additional usage of inks that the Epson driver doesn't
give you.
