Black-and-White Photo Printing

Advanced black-and-white photo printing is available in the Color Controls dialog, allowing color images to be printed in black-and-white without first converting them to monochrome in the imaging application. The print image is adjusted without affecting the original data.
Note:
Even in Advanced B&W Photo and Black modes, ink from all cartridges is used to keep the print heads in good condition.
You need to use the media that is suitable for black-and-white photo printing.
See Paper Information for detailed information.
