It can produce superb black & white as well a color. I wanted to to both without the trouble and cost of dedicating a separate printer like a Epson 1280 to black & white using pigment inks. In addition to the Nikonscan software I also have SilverFast; however almost all my scanning is done with VueScan. I am really disappointed in SilverFast for B&W. I think VueScan is one of the great software bargains. What convinced me to buy the 2200 were the reviews and articles on color management that are on Michael Reichman's LUMINOUS-LANDSCAPE website. Read them before you make a final decision. [ http://www.luminous-landscape.com } Particularly helpful was the article on black & white printing with the 2200. I am also favorably impressed with the low ink consumption of the 2200 in the black & white mode as well as the convenience of the separate ink cartridges.
