Digital BW, The Print

I doubt the 280 driver has a black only printing mode.  QTR is "QuadToneRip"
- see http://www.quadtonerip.com/html/QTRoverview.html   A "rip" (raster
image processor") is a third part printing utility that gives us control of
the printer where Epson does not.  Roy Harrington's QTR is the best value in
B&W rips.  For my recent inksets and workflows, QTR is used a lot to get the
most out of the printers.

sorry, but what's a QTR?

my 2400 driver does not let me select "black ink only". just wondering if
the R280 does? if 
it does, i suppose it's just a matter of getting an MIS Eboni cartridge?
