Digital BW, The Print

Carl  -
 
You can' t take file that were put together to print on one system ("quadtone", Imageprint, etc.) and print them on a different system.  If you're going to do it right, you'll need at least three different systems.  If not, you're going to leave out some very good work, regardless of which system(s) you exclude.  
 
Another point:  You've got to get someone to do the prints that really understands the particular system they are printing on.  You're not going to have very good luck just getting inexperienced people to to the work.
 
You might be better of figuring out a way for the artist to do/supervise the printing.  You could still do the framing, but the critical control would still be with the artist.
 
Also, what are your print size limits (min and max)?

Cort,

We will be setting up a dedicated black & white print station, using
quadtone inks. We are 
currently in the process of researching the best method and work flow
for obtaining the 
highest quality black & white prints. We are committed to producing
the best prints 
possible. We are trying to decide between the Epson 4000 or
something like the 7000/
7600. We are also looking into the best RIP software, etc. (we are
using Macs with OS 
10.3).

If anyone has any suggestions for the best system for a Mac we would
love to hear them.

Regards,
Carl Schneider
