Clayton,

Not sure what 'PR' is, but, assuming it is a non-Epson paper, then you will 
probably see color casts in various steps of a grayscale. The AdvancedB&W 
part of the R2400 Epson driver will only have been programmed with the 
correct proportions of the black and colored dots of K3 inks for each of the 
grayscale steps on the Epson papers specified for use with that printer. Use 
a third-party paper or ink and what you will get is anyone's guess. Do you 
see varying color casts when you look at prints done with the correct 
settings on Epson papers in AdvancedB&W mode? Surely that is the test of the 
printer's programming/profiling.

 What I said
was that I can see colors.  I have before me as I write this a
stepwedge printed on PR with MK ink in a 2400 in ABW neutral mode.  I
can clearly see subtle shades of C M and Y in different places in the
ramp.
