MIS Associates and Inkjetmall have a number of inksets for older Epson printers.  I've listed the MIS inksets I've been involved with at http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/  Scroll down the page and there will be a list by printer and by inkset.

The 100% carbon inksets I now use, discussed at the top of the page, above, will run on most Epson printers, but aside from those I've used, you'll have to do your own profiling.  With QTR it's easy.

The third party dedicated B&W inksets are mostly for Epson printers.  HP is making inroads with it's Vivera pigments, however.

Good luck in your search.
