Re: R800 and Black Only

Yup, tried that first but results were unsatisfactory because prints 
came out so cool they were almost blue. The gradients (make sure that 
sharpen is set to "none" on the driver) aren't as smooth as color ink 
BW either, but not too bad. Graininess with the R800 in monochrome is 
MUCH improved over, say, my 2200 using black only. No graininess 
visible with the naked eye when printing in monochrome on the R800 at 
the "best photo" setting.
