Digital BW, The Print

The finest B&W I have achieved digitally (or at all, because my 
darkroom skills were never the best :-)) was using Piezography Pro 
and my Epson 7000, but ImagePrint 5.6 and my 7600 comes very, very 
close.

ImagePrint 5.6 dipslays no visble metamerism in B&W prints.  the 
ability to tone prints is a big bonus. As a one-box printing 
solution, its hard to beat. 

In other words, IP 5.6 is capable of exhibition quality B&W prints 
using the standard Epson Ultrachrome inks.  At the moment, there 
simply is no equivalent quality solution that I am aware of from 
anyone else:  you'd have to use a full-blown dedicated B&W system to 
match it.
