Matt, it is possible to do Black Only (BO) printing with the R1800, but 
only with QTR or perhaps another RIP. Theoretically, the small droplet 
size should allow you to do very well, but the model seems to have a 
major microbanding problem that gets progressively more obvious with 
less channels firing. I'm currently waiting for the 4th one of these to 
arrive from Epson, so the chances of getting a good one that has no 
banding seem downright abysmal.

So I'd agree with other posts, go with the 2400 if your budget allows. 
More bucks, but many fewer headaches.
