Low cost to purchase; the cost per black and white print is actually very 
high! This system would be for glossy/luster prints, not for matte/art prints, I 
assume...

There's no good matte papers available either. However the HP Premium 
Photo Matte is a very nice lustre/pearl paper.

I use the 7660 (7960's little brother, only holds 2 carts at once 
instead of 3), and print B&W on it when I have an image that doesn't do 
well in BO on the C86. I'm pretty happy with the output, but since I'm a 
matte fan and like the warm Epson OEM inks for the C86, BO is my current 
standard.
