    Black and white printing with the Epson R1800

    The Epson R1800 when printing B/W produce a color cast. I am looking for a software that will allow me to do B/W printing. I saw somewhere, I forgot where it was that Bibble Pro will do a good job producing B/W photos. Anyone who has used Bibble Pro can shed some light on this subject? Thanks!
