If you're as picky as I am about NEUTRAL/stable/archival B/W prints with no
color shifting or metamerism you're in for a bumpy ride because you're never
going to get that without considering the quadtone systems (or some people
say a RIP- but I wasn't convinced about that). Printing with black only is
probably not getting you professional results.
I'd decide the level of quality you need to deliver in your B/W prints and
go from there by researching the archives on this forum.
I'm using the MIS quadtone inks and getting, for the first time, beautiful
B/W prints from my inkjet printer.
