Digital BW, The Print

Hello! I've been using the R220, MIS inks, and Kirkland Glossy paper 
for 8x10s after receiving guidance from this forum.
    With the recent Epson printer decision, MIS inks and alternatives 
will be harder to come by.
    How do B&W prints look with the R220 when using Epson inks? Are 
there profiles for the R220 with Epson inks for B&W printing just as 
there were with MIS inks?
    Any other suggestions that would allow me to continue to make nice 
B&W prints with the R220 (other than upgrading!). Thanks and best 
regards.
