He mentioned that because he has a Canon W8400 or alike and 
that's just a plain CcMmYK machine comparable to the 10000, 
9000 range and not really suited for B&W printing. The Canon 
wide formats with more K inks iPF5000 - 9000 are not on the 
market right now but should be perfect for B&W printing.
