I am in a similar situation...I think.  I just ordered my new Epson 1280 
($313 after the $100 Epson rebate).  Since it is new, it will never see color 
carts.  I am dedicating it to B/W from the very start.  Now the question 
is....what do I do next?  MIS inks, Piezotones?  Plugins?  Workflows? 

I have just started to get, what I consider, quite nice B/W output from my 
C80 using the "Russell Brown Tonal Conversion Technique"  using EEM  and 
Epson Velvet Fine Art, but I want a bigger output.

I don't know how this stacks up against others, but it works for me and makes 
sense to me, unlike some others.  Maybe that is why it works for me.
