Digital BW, The Print

Hi all. New member here...you all sound very enlightened about 
printing black & white digitally so I thought I jump right in... 

I have 25+ years printing in a darkroom and only about 3 years into 
digital printing...so bear with me, please.  I have a business 
printing commercially from historical black & white negatives for 
commercial interiors and am ready to purchase a large format 
printer. Needs are not larger than 24" and prints must be long 
lasting (20+) but not 100 years.  I have been looking at the new HP 
Designjet 130.  Price is right and sounds good.  Anyone know 
anything about this printer??  Thanks!
