Digital BW, The Print

Jamie, there are 2 inksets that will do the job for you.

The Generations 4 inkset from http://www.mediastreet.com
and the MIS Archival Color Pigment inks from http://inkjetsupply.com

They're almost identical in appearance. The generations inks have been
tested to a hundred years plus, and they have the best pigment black on
the market, if you want the deepest blacks you can get.

For great results, you need to get a profile made for whichever ink you
get for each paper you use.
