Rick, The best solution will be dedicating a printer to b/w. There are several great b/w inksets in both dye and pigment forms, and available in carts or bulk. If you're printing on glossy surfaces you may want to consider a dye based ink like the Lyson Quad Black or Small Gamut inks. If printing on a glossy surface is not important, you may consider the MIS VM inkset.
