Digital BW, The Print

There are many reasonably priced options for printing black and white. Best
to check out posts at:
 Yahoo group DigitalBlackandWhitethePrint.

Yeah, the best way is to work backwards. Go to inksupply.com and Paul's web
site and learn what printers have refillable cartridges available for them
and what characteristics those printers have.
(It actually takes a very long time for refillable cartridges to become
available for a new printer model.)
Once you know what printers can be made to use aftermarket B&W inks sets and
what their characteristics are, you are in a better position to choose.
Also, learn about QTR (Quadtone RIP) which can be used to make existing
color printers such as the Epson 3880 or 2880 behave like dedicated B&W
printers, giving you a very viable two-in-one option. My recommendation
would be one of the two printers I just mentioned. I don't have and have not
used the 2880, but can vouch for the near bullet proof 3880.
A superb additional option is the Epson 1440 which you can load with a plug
and play dedicated B&W ink set from inksupply.com. This printer has a
smaller picoliter feature that gives you even more finely detailed prints.

Good luck.
