I've spent lots of time in darkrooms. Shooting film does nothing to
stop you wasting paper!

No, but it does deal with *some* of the pretense of digital being
better/faster.
Good printing in both digital and chemical work takes effort.
(And I'm still waiting for a digital print that can stand up
Inkjet printing of scans would still require photo paper. ;-)

Hi Jack
Others have been giving you good advice. Don't guess, you need to
calibrate a printer profile, or at least use one of the canned profiles.
One other thing I've found, print and print often. My R1800 doesn't do
too badly at BW, but leave it for a week or two, a few nozzles get

I'm done wasting photo paper...for the moment. I estimate having
sacrificed about 20 sheets of A3 Ultra Premium Luster in the last 36 hours.
Would have been more, but I've been interrupted a few times with meals, toilet

Good results are very difficult to achieve when the printer controls the color.
Change your setup to Photoshop controls color and turn off all printer color
control. You can find instructions for printing workflow management on the web.

If the R1800 doesn't have a dedicated BW mode (using only black
inks), then at the very minimum you need to buy the hardware and
software for making your own paper profiles to have any hope
Yeah...problem solved.
