Digital BW, The Print

I am on a similar journey and would appreciate the same opinions. I am a past user (~10 years ago) of an Epson printer fitted with an after market ink set. I shot film and then scanned negs with a Nikon scanner and printed the digitized images in B&W. Now, after a longish hiatus, I have bought a proper digital camera and am pretty much starting from scratch re: printer/ink units. I'd sure like to hear the answers asked by Sanders. Thank you much, Jack in Tucson
