Digital BW, The Print

I've been really happy with the COLOR results I have managed to get
from my local Costco Noritsu printer, profiling with the aid of
Drycreek Photo, and provided that the lab techs turn off changes etc.

For black and white, I'm thinking about an Epson 2400 but re inkjet
printers am reluctant to go down a second technological fork in the
road (my color Noritsu printing being the other fork). And I wonder if
there is any way to get good B&W output from the Noritsu. Certainly my
forays with a Frontier have not been encouraging -- not terrible, just
not great.

Thanks for any thoughts.
