Digital BW, The Print

You are not alone! I started out with Luminos monochrome inks, 
and then switched to Lyson when I found out they are the same 
inks and in fact make them for Luminos....and are a lot cheaper! 
I've tested numerous papers and have have finally settled on 
Hahnemuhle Photo Rag, which gives the best results with these 
inks. For a semi gloss look, I've found that the Epson Luster is 
very good. I'm using an Epson 1200 with a continuous flow 
system from CIS and buy the inks in bulk (4oz bottles), which 
makes the inks even cheaper. I've had no problem with these 
inks clogging my heads, and everything works like a dream.
I still don't understand why nobody on here seems to know about 
the Lyson inks, or if they do, they're not discussing it, especially 
considering you don't have to do any tweaking to get great prints. 
I just convert my color image to gray scale and then back to RGB 
and print as normal.....no fuss, no muss.....couldn't be easier! 
By the way, I'm a professional photographer, and DO know what 
a good prints looks like, and am very picky when it comes to print 
quality....and this delivers.
Happy printing!
