David,

I gather your analogy is to say that the 1800 is very poor in making BW,
which, unfortunately, I have to agree to. However, if I understand correct,
you claim that your product PFP can make neutral gray prints from the 1800,
so why can�t Epson make a suitable print mode, driver or profile? Anyway, I
hope that the PFP can make neutral BW prints from the 1800, as I have just
ordered one�

 

Peter

The R1800's neutral prints with OEM inks are so variable that a special tool

for B&W would be like a speedometer on your tricycle.
