Not unless it has a different driver from the Japanese model. I have one
of these and it prints with all the colours when set to black (same as
the R800 I believe).

I (kinda) know someone who works for ColorVision, the Spyder people, and
he looked at some B&W prints from the Japanese model under a high
powered microscope while he was here in Japan doing some work with
Epson. He said it definitely prints with colour ink.

Hope that helps. Probably not since you are interested in BO printing.
For me this is good news, as I will be able to get the U.S. driver,
which will probably have more options as far as paper profiles goes.
Apparently the Japanese drivers are always more limited in this regard.

Sooner,
Dean
