Try setting the Epson driver to use only the black ink cartridge, that
should look better but it still won't be great. The x70/x80 series printers
are known for not doing B&W well. If you're a heavy B&W printer, get
yourself an 1160 (which are getting very hard to come by, but some Staples
still have them off their website, otherwise you have to buy used or
refurb's). The 1160's are arguably the best B&W inkjet printers on the
market right now. Even with the OEM ink.

Oh, and since you'll be printing with just the black cartridge, you can skip
that grayscale conversion step, and retain all that data for future use
should it be needed.

Subject: Printing Grayscale Images


I use PS 6.0 and am converting color images to grayscale.  When I print them
on a Epson 1280 they have green or purple tints.  Could
someone point me to a tutorial which describes how get rid of these tints so
that I get nice clean blacks.

Thanks,
