David,

If I was looking to print B&W on a 7600, (I wish!) I would take a look at
www.bwguys.com (Sundance Inks and R9 software). They have a new Septone ink
set and a RIP, Pixel Pixacasso, that uses a single black ink, 3 warm-neutral
gray inks and 3 cool-neutral gray inks. With the software you can select the
Low, Mid and High percentages of warm to cool ink giving some really fine
results and an incredible variability of hue. You might want to contact them
and see if you can get a sample. The samples they sent me were really
gorgeous. When they get it together for the 2200, I will probably jump in
that direction.
