Tweaking an Epson r1800 to behave in B&W

[todd_jacobs]

I hope I diddn't purchase the wrong printer. I got the Epson r1800

thinking it was a good compromise between B&W and color because I want

to make B&W prints with some handcoloring. I also expect to make

archival B&W prints and the occasional color image. This necessitates

a good B&W with some color that can be less than perfect. I now see

that the r2400 has a tri-color B&W inkset. Yeah, yeah I know, I

dropped a bundle without really doing my homework, actually I balked

at the extra $300 but now think it would have been well spent. At any

rate, can I customize my r1800 with additional B&W inksets in place of

certain existing ink slots, with the appropriate driver to make better

B&W prints? Granted, I've only had the machine up and running for a

day and haven't learned how to drive it yet.

 

Thanks,
