Digital BW, The Print

> Imageprint?  Septone?  QTR?  MIS inks?  What??

Easiest out of the box, but most money is ImagePrint. Will also improve your color 
use of the 2200. Downside: you can't tweak the bw ink mix past what is built in, or 
make your own profiles. Many people are very happy with the results, though. 

Zero cost, but some learning would be QTR. If you are on OS X that is likely your 
cheapest option. I'd say, why not start from there and spend money only if you feel 
you need to explore other options.

Also zero cost, but OS 9 (also runs on Classic) is OPM. You can explore that option by

This is basically last year's model, but gives you an idea of what's in store when the 
OS X version comes out this year. The companion IJC software, which makes profiles 
for OPM costs under $200. Unless you get a promise of a free upgrade to the new 
version, however, it's not worth buying the old one. Among other things the new 
version has ways of making bw profiles that are much easier than the OS 9 version.

 
Unless you have a second printer to devote to bw (which is ideal), you'd want to stay 
with the OEM inks on the 2200. 

Generally speaking, the ideal scenario is a printer dedicated to bw (i.e. using UT or 
Piezo inks) and software that allows you to make your own profiles. The more control 
you gain on the process, however, the more you have to be prepared to learn and the 
less "plug-n-play" the solution will be.
