I was going to say the same. Frankly, I think the whole archival
brouhaha is way overblown.

If you can believe those Wilhelm (sp?) test the HP Designjet prints
will outlast Epson prints by a factor of at least 2. But I will not

is why anything other than an Epson won't do for me.
The Epson allows B&W tone control through its driver and the
QuadToneRIP driver handles it as well. The individual tanks are a
bit fussy for me, the Epson software has its good and bad
points, took a while to learn, and I could probably do better
with some more time to learn it.
The HP allows you to mix and match three of 5 recommended ink
carts to achieve a wide range of B&W tones. Their software
seems easier and faster to use. It's not super fast but it's
fast enough.
