Mike, one easy solution that doesn't require too much tinkering around and exchanging ink systems is buying something like an Epson 7600 (24"), and setting it up with a RIP (with full control over individual inks). You can print on everything from Art papers to certain glossy surfaces, over archival matte, and you can get really big ink tanks. Then you make a CMYK profile that primarily uses Black and light Black and lower the other colours to extremely low values. This will allow you to print very nice B&W with long durability (probably 60-80 years pending on paper), and you can tone the prints at your whim, much like Lyson's Small Gamut inkset. > > Do they still make IRIS printers?

Also be aware that maintenance is very expensive, even with a service contract.
