I bought the R1800 because I do mostly, if not all, color. I went
after the b&W as part of the profiling process because it was
something I could measure easily and from a consistent patch on a
test print. I assumed that making the B&W good it would improve the
shadow and light colors.


Actually, what it will improve is the neutral zones of your prints... but only under neutral lighting (D50 high CRI) in the case of your particular printer.

This may not be a good assumption. BTW,I
think the B&W is quite acceptable at this point.


Thats the best you can hope for with the R1800: something that suits you pretty well under a given lighting.

If you don't mind I think I will post my experience in the DPReview
forum. I think it is a positive experience. Who knows, I may be
able to tweak David Miller and Andrew Rodney again.

No, lets not start that again, thank you.
