Digital BW, The Print

Thanks for the replies so far! I guess I should mention a couple of things:

1. I'm planning to use OEM inks this time. I've mostly used third party inks in the past, but was hoping to avoid that now. I just want the most trouble free out of the box experience possible as I have a lot less time to experiment and babysit my printer now than I did in the past. I'm hoping the larger carts in the new printer will offset some of the cost of using original inks, even though I realize it will still be more expensive no matter what.

2. Gamut is not of great importance to me. I'm probably influenced by my BW printing, because when I do make color images they tend to be very low saturation. All modern pigment ink printers probably are more than capable of printing any color image to my satisfaction. I do want reasonably accurate out of the box profiles though. 

dmax on matte papers will be an important consideration though. I know 1.65 - 1.7 is possible with the right combination of ink and paper, and I would be disappointed if all I could get was 1.5. I'm wondering how Canon does in this regard.

I'm not as familiar with glossy papers, so I don't know what dmax to aim for here.
