Huh?  The Epson 760 is unbelievably cheap, will do A4 photo quality
printing,
and you can get 3rd party *pigment* based archival inks (try Generations).
At least have a look at the results you can get from one - it might not be
*the*
answer, but it ought to give pretty decent results until a smaller OEM
pigment
ink printer comes along. A lot of people complain about colour crossovers
with printing B&W on Epsons other than the 870/1270, but I don't find them
so bad on my 700, and the 760 is better technology than my 700.
