Hi, First of all, thanks for your reply.
I,ve tried to do it but after installing the software of the PXG900, 
and printing as black & white, I've realised that the prints are the 
same. They look coldish too. Have you tried to do this?
It won't be the posibility of printing real B&W with the R800?
It would be a pity.

Regards.
