Digital BW, The Print

The list of inksets and workflows I've been involved with are at

How large you want to print is a major variable.  Letter size (8 x 10
inches or A4) is cheaper.  The C88+, for example, appears to still be
made.   (The 280 carts do not appear to be as easily obtained.)

At 13" a used printer makes sense.  The R1800 is top of my list now for
B&W.

Above 13" gets expensive, but a used 7000 or 7500 would be the top of my
list.  (I use a 7500.)

My write-ups include paper and workflow recommendations, and usually
profiles.

Good luck with your B&W.
