CeeFu,

The development of gray scale inks for B&W printing has been pretty much
limited to Epson printers. At this point in time I am not aware of any
aftermarket inks available for HP printers (although they are coming out
with a B&W solution of their own in a new printer). This is due to their
construction and their aggressive legal stance towards aftermarket ink
cartridges for their printers.

If you want a dedicated B&W printer you will do much better to get an Epson
simply because of the vast array of aftermarket products available.
