Digital BW, The Print

Darla..
I would definitely go with the MIS inks, probably the
"VM" series with the workflow as set up by Paul Roark, who will send you his
"curves" for variable tone (cool to warm) B&W prints (at N/C.. it's a "labor
of love" for him!)
Depending upon your expected largest size print, I would buy an Epson 1280
(6-color) for up to about 12"x18", with a CIS (continuous ink supply
system)..If you do any volume of printing at all, you'll think you are
printing for "no-cost!"..
I realize the preceding is not in-depth, but should should help you get
started  ..Search the archives of this group, and you can learn alot..Good
luck!
