Digital BW, The Print

I'm looking for a larger printer than my C86, which I've been using for 
BO printing, with excellent results. One of the local pushers has some 
very good deals on new 1280's ($500CDN new, $450 open box). Has anybody 
had any luck using these for BO printing? I'd certainly be willing to 
get some Eboni if it's doable.

I typically print on Moab Kayenta, EEM and Moab Entrada Bright 190gsm.
