OEM inks, OEM drivers. These printers really don't need special inksets 
(which would limit them to B&W only), nore do they need special drivers or RIPs 
(they have the clever gray generation functions for low metamerism B&W already 
built into the RGB drivers) that previous generations of printers required for 
good black and white.
