Hello Madeleine,

Well, you've stumbled into a complicated issue. MIS makes a good ink. Try staying with it 
for a while to see how you like it. There are other ways to print black and white  but take 
some time and wade into the water slowly because the learning curve is steep (it was for 
me anyway). Google black and white photography and read as much as you can about 
everything out there.

Good luck!

Steve
