Digital BW, The Print

I tried to post this a couple of days ago, but never saw it up, so I 
am guessing I just pressed the wrong button. Please excuse if it is 
a repost.

I have been away from ink-jet printing for a while. I would assume 
that you all have probably been through at least a couple of 
generations of printers in that time. I was wondering what the best 
choice is right now for a printer that would print 24" wide. Or is 
now not the time? It seems I have seen some posts on some new super 
inks that are do out soon, so maybe I should hold off. Thanks -- JimJ
