Hi Steve.  It's early morning here and there is some daylight.  I believe the R800 is 
printing in color when black printing is selected because the prints have a cast that 
changes depending on the temperature of the light.  Also because on a 21 step gray 
scale print, the midtones have a different cast than the highlight and the shadow 
chips.  And when examined through a loupe, the chips do appear to be composed of 
different color dots.
