Why would black and white images print with a reddish/almost sepia looking tint? The images look correct on screen but when I print them they have a reddish tint to them. If I direct my printer Epson R200 to print with only black or white ink, they come out very grainy. So it has something to do with how the computer and printer are communicating but I don't know and I've blown a lot of ink trying to figure this out!

Any ideas??

Have you tried converting them to grayscale rather than B&W?

The only way to ensure faithful colour reproduction is to calibrate your monitor and create a custome profile for your printer...

If you're using the Epson driver's normal color controls, you can reduce the Magenta channel from the driver. Experiment!
