Dedicatd B&W printer - is it worth it?

2009-09-02 by flashinet

Hello everybody,

I'm fine art photographer working mainly with black and white. I print my own photographs on Epson 7900 using ABW driver and like the results, I also exhibit my prints. 
Still I'm reading about dedicated B&W printers and monochrome inks like Paleography or MIS and I'm worried that I'm missing something in quality .  
I've made some research and figured that I can give it a try by buying Epson 1400 printer and UT14 inks.

But the question is: Is it worth it? Is quality going to be so much better so it's worth all this money and trouble?

Thanks you very much,
Jacob Mann
