The R1800 doesn't have a dedicated B&W mode. I've been aware of that for a good while. I'm frustrated by the fact that at one time, I had no problem with B&W. That, however, has been some time ago. Thanks, Mark.

Even then it's a very finicky business. I gave up and ended up buying an Epson R3000 with multiple black inks for my B&W work and I believe that's really the way to go. I'd never go back to printing B&W with a color inkset. -- Mark Roberts - Photography & Multimedia http://www.robertstech.com/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
