Hello, I think what you are going to find is that the R800, R1800 and R1900 with their 
native inksets make very poor b&w printers, (primarily because of their use of only one 
black in an age of 3K printers.   Somewhere within QTR is a Read Me to that effect.

 On the other hand the 800,1800,1900 series is an excellent platform with its' 1.5 picolitre 
printhead for dedicated b&w inksets and I think the basic form of the profiles is included 
for people wanting to develop their own b&w inksets.

Paul Roark here:

http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/

details an approach for the 800/1800 that prints b&w and color on matte paper only.  
There may have been further work done on the 1900 as well.

I think Roy Harrington did some very basic profiles for the 800/1800 but not for the 1900 
yet.
