Digital BW, The Print

Define 'low volume' Dave. If you print a few prints every 2-3 days 
it'll probably be enough to keep the ink moving through and keep the 
head clean. Aside from the head issues, older generations of ink 
built up sludge in the tubes and eventually clogged them, requiring 
replacement.I haven't heard of any complaints to that effect for what 
we're using now, though I'm sure someone will contradict me soon 
enough.

These newer printers won't do BO with the Epson driver. You will need 
QuadtoneRip or another RIP to do it with any of the Claria printers. 
The previous generation-R200,R220, R240 and R300, R320, R340 Had a 
black only option, there is a chip re-setter available, and you can 
probably put together a set of refillable carts. I just checked eBay, 
and there are still a few NEW ones being offered-don't buy a used one.
