Which printer for B&W

2012-09-08 by lurique2003

Hello,

I've never printed, I want do the best as possible B&W, without cast greenish/pinky or magenta. I love the wide range of grey tones from black to white, my experience is in the darkroom. 

I'm considering 3 printers: Canon Pixma Pro 9000, this is interesting for the price and maybe for the use of dye inks. Also considering Canon Pixma Pro 9500 Mark II and Epson R3000. What I've saw that Epson is more popular and there is many software available as Quadtone RIP.

Printing cost and possible repairs assistance is also an important element. I don't think I'll print a lot of pictures, I will do for exhibitions and offer the prints to the market.

Thanks for your opinions

Best
lluis
