Digital BW, The Print

I just got going with a used 1160 (a tad over $200) and a CFS kit and 
inkset from MIS (sepia>neutral quadtones). Their prices are all 
online. 
I also bought Eclipse Satine in various sizes (www.photoinkjet.com)
This "system" is producing beautiful prints and I can recommend it. 
And it's well under your budget.
