Digital BW, The Print

Hi!

I follow this list a bit even though I am a "color" landscape 
photographer (I print on an Epson 10K ARC).  However, I have a 
lot of 4X5 B&W negatives from a previous life that I would now 
like to print digitally.   At this time I am interested in printing on 
semi-gloss or gloss papers to get a look that is as close to the 
finest B&W prints I have seen in the past.  Paul Caponigro's work 
is sort of my gold standard in these matters - very deep blacks, 
incredible luminosity and awesome gradation in midtones.  

So, what ink/paper/lf-printer combination would I probably find 
most satisfying?  I know a lot of you print on rag and other fineart 
papers, but for now I am after that "photograph" look.  Also image  
permanence is important - so most dye inks, i would guess, 
wouldn't be suitable. 

My color prints are on Epson Premium Luster and unless you 
use a loupe they are often unrecognizable as coming from a 
digital workflow (though I think they outshine most Ilfochromes I 
have seen - except Christopher Burkett's work). I would like to 
achieve the same thing with my B&Ws, which (if I am successful) 
will probably provoke me to photograph in B&W again.  Many 
thanks for helping a neophyte!
