Digital BW, The Print

When I check the "Black Ink Only" box in my 2200 driver I get a message from
Epson: "The Black ink setting is suitable for text or draft printing.  The
print quality is not suitable for photographic images."

My experience is that there are good reasons Epson has this message pop up.

I understand some people prefer BO printing, but the printers are not made
to give consistently good results with only the black ink.  The more inks
that are firing, the more likely the artifacts will be covered up.
