Digital BW, The Print

The i9900 driver is very well behaved in it's non color managed state.
This makes it much easier to get decent B&W results with very good
profiles, compared to Epsons.
I have profiled 2 i9900s for professional photographers, and they are
quite happy even for B&W portfolio prints.
They are not what I would prefer, for example from a dedicated ink
set, but for color ink prints they far exceeded any Epson (baring
brand new K3 models) RGB driver mono prints.
Select a paper or two and get good custom profiles.
Someone suggested the Lyson inks, I would definitely not recomend them
unless the Lyson version far outperforms the Epson version.
