Best inexpensive way to get into Quad/hextones?

2002-03-02 by byronbulb

Hi :)

I'm just starting to get interested in digital B+W and the prints from
my 2000p just aren't hacking it - too much metamerism especially in B+W.

So I'm hoping to get an inexpensive printer to supplement with,
ideally one that's wide-format and USB which can print very good
quadtones (or hextones, either is fine) with a minimal cash outlay. 

I know I could get many of the 8 1/2 x 11 printers for around
$70-$100, and I might end up going that route, but if there's a system
someone could recommend for around $150-$200 that would be
wide-format, that would be ideal for me. 

(I'm assuming that I'll use the MIS inkset, as Piezography is just way
too expensive for my taste.)
