Digital BW, The Print

You want the MIS Perpetual ink set...not the MIS archival...which is out
dated and inferior to the Perpetual (and Gen4) set.  The Gen4 set is now
called Enhanced Generations and IT IS NOT an all pigment set...the black has
25% dye in it...while the MIS set is all pigment.

Both of these ink sets are very difficult to profile if you are trying to
get dye-like performance on matte papers...once again, I would strongly
suggest asking this question on the Archival Color list...there is a good
bit of expertise on this topic.
