Digital BW, The Print

I thought you said  you have the Epson 2200 (looking back at your original 
post)...With this you can use the Epson OEM inks and a RIP such as Quadtone and get 
excellent B&W prints.  The good news is that it is free.  You can also consider using 
Inkjetcontrol/Open Printmaker although I have no experience with this.  Or you can 
pay $495 and purchase Colorbyte's Imageprint RIP which will potentially (I say 
potentially because I have not used it - if you are starting out it can be quite an 
upfront expense to fully load your system at the beginning rather building it as you 
get used to RIPs, color mgt, scanning techniques etc) improve your colour prints over 
and above the Epson driver.  Otherwise you are looking at the (dedicated) (septone) 
B&W ink sets.  Personally (and if I am correctly judging wwhere you are starting from 
in all this) I would start with your existing 2200 and use Quadtone and then progress 
from there if you feel you need to.
