Actually with it being set up for gloss optimizer, it might be a terrific
glossy paper printer with the right inkset and the Epson driver.  However,
I'm not sure there is a B&W inkset that is set up for it that can print on
glossy paper.  Not all inksets can.  I have not used Piezo inks lately, but
I believe Piezo inks may be matte paper compatible only.  (I would also not
use the R1800 color inkset to try to print B&W.)
