Digital BW, The Print

MIS also has blended, monotone, glossy compatible inksets. They're fine for many applications, but for my work, I stopped using these approaches.

For those who want more control, virtually no separation in wide format printers, and the ability to have the best longevity, I'm just pointing to an approach that may give them that.

It's a big market with lots of different levels of interest and expertise.  Most B&W photographers have clearly just settled on the Epson or other OEM "Advanced B&W" type of approach.  These are fine also, but I try to find the best for the least $$.  No one size fits all in this market.
