Best Bet, Epson 1280 printer, CIS from nomorecarts.com , ana the MIS VM
inkset. Just before printing, use one of Paul Roark's curves, either the
warm, medium warm, neutral, cool, or cold. 

Best bet on papers,

Torchon/Royal Riviera for deepest blacks, get the royal riviera version
at mediastreet.com for 1/3 the price of Torchon. Same paper.
Epson Archival Matte for best all around quality at a great price,
Legion Photo Matte Paper,  230 Gsm
Brightcube's Eclipse Satine paper, comes in 190 and 300 GSMS
