For more neutral monochrome, you'll have to opt for the R2400. The Stylus Photo R1800 does a reasonably good job with black-and-white output but creates composite grays, typically resulting in a slight color cast in the print. In practice, the trays do work well and have the advantage of being able to retract completely into the printer body when not in use. To protect them, consider locating the printer in a low-traffic area.

The R1800, like the HP Photosmart 8750, handles large-size output via a series of extendable plastic trays that seem rather flimsy. The Stylus Photo R1800 also offers roll-paper capability, which permits prints as large as 13x44 inches. It also provides a straight-through paper path for very heavy media, including CDs or DVDs. This design is easy to manage, though more prone to collecting dust than are cassette or front-feed paths. Like the R800, the 13x19-capable R1800 feeds paper through an L-shaped path, loading from the top and exiting in front.
This coating overcomes the tendency of the black pigment inks to become perceptibly less glossy soon after drying as well as preventing bronzing in those areas.
The eighth tank holds the gloss optimizer, which is applied when printing on glossy paper stock.

The Hi-Gloss ink set comprises six primaries: cyan, magenta, yellow, red, and blue, plus a choice of photo black or matte black, which both reside in the printer full time-no cartridge swapping required. It's virtually identical to its letter-size counterpart, the equally impressive Stylus Photo R800, but its UltraChrome Hi-Gloss ink set lacks the monochrome chops that Epson put into the new UltraChrome K3 inks, which debut in the Stylus Photo R2400. A perfect printer for the budget-minded photo fanatic, the medium-format Epson Stylus Photo R1800 delivers long-lasting, exhibition-quality color prints.
