Welcome to the forum, you have come to the right place for BW
printing.  You haven't told us whether you have purchased a printer
and inks yet, or what they are if you have, so it's kind of hard to
know what to suggest.  

However, please have a look at the series of articles at the link
below.  #1 and #2 are a good overview of the current state of things
and should answer a lot of basic questions.  The others get deeper
into the specifics of various approaches and techniques.

That should help to get started, and let us know if you have any
further questions.


Regards,
Clayton
