Epson's icc profiles on the 2880 with Epson papers yield very nice BW without a hint of magenta or green. However, I was never able to achieve those kind of results with a five-color printer. I think a BW inkset would be the best way to go there, although a custom profile with the standard inkset might do the job as well. However, I think your gray range would still be limited.
