Digital BW, The Print

Jorge,

If MIS does not ship to Brazil, check out http://www.image-specialists.com/about_us_global_dis.aspx#usa 

If you can get the matte black, top notch printing on matte paper is easy to do with virtually any Epson printer and a CIS.  
See http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/Ink-Mixing.pdf

My general ink information page is at 
http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/

MIS B&W inksets are listed by printer and inkset at 
http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/Inkset-list.html

It is, of course, always easier to start with an inkset that is supported by a pre-made profiles for the specific printer.  But with QuadToneRip (QTR), making profiles is rather easy.

Good luck with your B&W.
