Just to clarify, the ABW system does use small amounts of colored inks. 
You can select several pre-set looks (lighter, normal, darker, and 
cool, neutral, warm, sepia), as well as easily select your own values 
to achieve very subtle differences. What I think the ABW system does 
well is to provide very good results right out of the box with a 
minimal amount of fuss (no messing with profiles, spectrometres, etc.). 
The R2400 also allows you the freedom to print on a variety of matte, 
luster, semi-gloss, and glossy papers by switching between the matte 
black (MK) and photo black (PK) cartridge.

If you feel you want to go further in printing, building your own 
custom profiles for your printer with different paper, ink 
combinations, you can always pursue that later.
