Unless...
While the R1800's "native" ink set will not produce
true monochrome prints, you can use third-party inks such as the Piezography K7
inks and get, I believe, "gallery quality, visually stable" black and white
prints. You will need to learn yet another piece of software (QuadToneRIP) but
the results can be gorgeous.

An R2400 would produce gallery quality, visually stable B&W prints (as would a 3800, a Canon iPF5000 or a Pro9500) but the R1800 is aimed very much in the other direction: glossy color prints. Which is not to say you can't improve your B&W results, just that they won't ever be stable enough to do gallery quality B&W.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news...
