The 3000 works very well with the MIS VM-S inkset.  This inkset goes from a
non-warming neutral to full sepia.  I consider it to be essentially dotless
at normal viewing distances, especially for 16x20 prints.  I have curves
that work very well with my PC outfit, but I do not know how they work with
Mac.  So, if you have Photoshop and a PC, the 3000 and MIS VM-S inkset is a
very economical way to make excellent 16x20 prints.  (Now that I have a 7500
with, the 3000 mostly sits idle, however.)
