At one time ImagePrint caused a great deal of excitement by having prebuilt 
settings allowing users to print black and white with minimal color, and no 
yellow at all, so that metamerism (color shifting under differing lighting 
conditions) was reduced. But once other options (including the 2400's own abilities 
to minimize color ink) were available, the rather high price of ImagePrint, 
and some users feeling that the look on B&W prints was kind of mechanical, made 
for far less enthusiasm about it. I haven't heard anyone recommending it as a 
B&W solution for quite some time now, though there are still plenty of people 
who own it who are using it for that.
