Notice that when you get to the screen shown to he right,
you need to click on BLACK, meaning black printing
(black ink ONLY) instead of color printing. When you
click on BLACK, the color slider bars are grayed out and
only the two slider bars that relate to B&W printing will
remain. See the image to the right.
Just as you did when you were making test prints for color
printing, you will now need to make some test prints for
B&W printing.
After making each test print, decide if you need to tweak
the two slider bars or not to make a better match between
the image on the monitor screen and the resulting test
print.
You can SAVE the settings so you will not have to
remember them… just as you saved the settings that you
used for color printing.
By the way, the newer printers, such as the R2400, handle
B&W printing a little differently. Consult your Owner’s
Manual for exact details on B&W printing with the newer
printers.
The Epson R800 & R1800 do not print B&W very
well. They tend to leave a color tint in the images. They
are NOT recommended for B&W printing… even with
original Epson cartridges!
Do NOT go back and make any adjustments in the
ADOBE GAMMA settings in the CONTROL PANEL
because that would screw up the color printing calibration
that you just did.
If you have reached the maximum of 25 units of
BRIGHTNESS adjustment and the print is still not
correct, then you will HAVE to go back and re-set the
Adobe Gamma setting… and then you will HAVE to re-
do all the color adjustments.
After you have given the settings a name, you will be able
to select the name in the future from the CUSTOM
settings dialog box (see the red arrow in the image to the
right).
