Digital BW, The Print

I use the MIS K4 (Epson K3 equivalent inkset) inks without the LLK  
ink in both my old 2200 and the 4000.  Works great with a RIP (both  
QTR and ColorBurst X-Photo with custom cmyk profiles for the latter),  
but I haven't tried with the Epson driver.  I think the Epson driver  
would also work with a custom RGB profile.
