Digital BW, The Print

I noticed that in a Mac catalogue also; it does sound good, but if 
you check carefully you'll see the 1300 dollar version is a 4-ink 
printer- the 6-inker costs as much as a factory refurbed 7600. The 
real problem though is getting B&W support. None of the inexpensive 
methods will support that printer, so you'll have to spend another 
$1500-plus for a RIP and maybe a densitometer, and of course the 
time involved, to get good B&W out of it. Not to mention the fade 
issue- does the printer use pigments or dyes?
