Hi Bob,
Your project sounds really cool. I hope we get to see the fruits of your
labor. Is there a N. American version of ARPS? I've never heard of anything
like it other than what you've mentioned about it in the past.
I although I haven't done any digital B&W printing, I have heard of few
different systems through the Epson list. Cone's Piezography system seems
to generate the most buzz, followed MIS Quadtones, and then there are
various high end inkjets (or Giclee). Dan Burkholder (here in San Antonio,
I think) also has come up with a unique way of mixing digital and
traditional print making.

And there are a few two year old articles here
http://www.phototechmag.com/previous-articles/mar-bond99.htm and here
http://www.cameraarts.com/ARCDIG.HTM , but keep in mind the technology has
probably improved a bit since then.
