Digital BW, The Print

I'd use it with either one of Paul Roark's inksets (as sold by MIS) or one
of the Cone Piezography ones.  It is capable of great prints with either.
Your decision is really whether you want to print on matte or gloss (or both
- slightly harder) and whether you are happy with a fixed tone (best
quality) or need variable tone (slightly lesser quality).  Once you have
answered those questions the inkset will more or less choose itself.

 

To start with it might be best to go with one of the MIS variable tone
inksets as they will print from warm to slightly cold as well as doing split
tone with QTR) and do both matte and gloss.  Once you have a preferred
tone/finish you can then install an inkset that suits your vision better.

 

I still have and use my 2100 for B&W and find it preferable to some of the
newer desktop printers, the paper feed is definitely more robust when using
matte fine art papers as I do almost exclusively.
