Digital BW, The Print

Very happy to have found this forum as I am trying to decide which 
system to use for black and white art prints.  I had about concluded 
that Cone Piezography was the way to go until I began reading here 
about the UT system.  I currently have an Epson 1280, plan to 
dedicate it to B&W and purchase a 2200 for color work (PhotoshopCS).  
Any recommendations, cautions, suggestions, are appreciated, or 
perhaps direct me to the appropriate messages if this has been 
discussed to death.
thanks in advance,
Mike
