Most of us stick with Epson printers, which are the only ones that can handle the higher viscosity of pigment inks. In my view an image made with primarily carbon pigments is the best route for digital B&W printing. Longevity, flexibility with respect to paper type, and lack of metamerism can all be achieved with the carbon pigment approach. There are a number of options that you'll find discussed on this forum that take this route.

Does anybody have any experience with this printer and its quality? My current Lexmark Z42 printer give me a poor quality b&w when I use black ink only and when I print b&w using the color setting there is a color tone that is not acceptable. And of course it only give up to 8-1/2x11 prints, I would like to get 11x17 or 13x19 sizes.
