Digital BW, The Print

All my printers are exclusively B&W - a 7600, 3000 and C86 for proofing  and 
fiddling around.
 I confess that every once in a while I want to make a color  print, and 
Epson is now having a sale. I'll want to use MIS archival color inks.  Which one: 
CX3800, 4600, RX500? R200? C86? 
The price differences are negligible - and although color is not my  
exhibition medium, I do want something  higher than snapshot quality.
 
My solo exhibition opens today at Rosemont College in Rosemont PA (just  
outside of Philadelphia) 4-6;30 PM and until Nov 3. My subject is people -  
old-fashioned street photography...

Not sure if this would qualify but my cx6600 seems to work fairly well 
and my parents have the cx6400 which came briefly before it. It does an 
OK job with color, considering that it's only a 4 color printer. Works 
very well for printing out those user manuals that are never included 
with software anymore. For the general office type work that I use it 
for, it works very well, and the occassional glossy print is not to bad 
with the inks that I'm using. With the Epson inks metamerism is really 
out of hand! I recommend the pKCMY from the 9800 or Chromium Pro set 
that WeInk sells, very close to colormatch, nothing a profile can't 
fix. For most of the things I print, I just don't bother with a 
profile, it really is close enough, even with images.

The cx6600 is a close out, replaced by the cx7800, so you might find a 
nice price after rebates.
