Just download Quadtone RIP and use the curves for Epson's inks rather 
than the K7 inks. You can get very nice results. That way you wouldn't 
even have to change inks to go from color to b/w. Quadtone RIP comes 
with curves for two sets of inks: K7 and Epson's own.

There are a lot of nice papers out there. I keep coming back to Epson 
Enhanced Matte. Nice for color and for b/w. Not very sexy, but reliable.
