I heard that it was because it only has 1 black ink cartridge, so I am now looking for a printer of similarly high quality which has more black inks (grey inks?) not sure exactly what I'm after. All I know is that I want true black and white prints at A4 (I doubt I need A3 - unless I find one at a reasonable price). I'm not too bothered about colour quality as I find my D7260 to be very good and cost effective for that, I'm looking for something to mainly print B&W photos on. I need it for wedding customers and personal use (macro, still life etc.).

Not sure what to expect from this, how it works, how to do it etc. so I'm at square 1 atm. Are there better options? Is this even an option?

I would suggest that you read some messages of the past year in the 
archives of the list at Yahoo.
Where the Epson 1400 is mentioned you can think R285 as well if either 
your budget or your desktop is small.
There are even cheaper solutions possible with other Epson A4 printers.
At the MIS website www.inksupply.com you will find which inksets can be 
used in the different Epson models.
At the QTR website www.quadtonerip.com you will see which printers are 
supported with that very affordable B&W RIP.
