Tom, you have found a solution that you are happy with, and presumably
now beyond the science fair and down to the real task of consistently
making prints. I can respect that, as well as your enthusiasm for IP
which has made that possible for you.
I would only point out that there are many respected print shops
throughout the country making beautiful digital fine art B&W prints,
using tools and processes other than IP, many from viable companies
with successful histories. Their endeavors and results can hardly be
characterized as science fairs.
There is no single best solution.
