In general, I don't think you can do better than a 2880 if both color and
B&W are the goal.

For dedicated B&W the 2200 is still a good machine if it's working well.
 The MIS UT7 was the variable tone inkset I designed for it.  Today for
maximum smoothness and longevity of the image, I'd probably go with 100%
carbon (Eboni-6) or, if more neutrality was needed, Eboni-4 Plus (see
http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/Eboni-4-Plus.pdf ), but that would require
some work by you to make profiles.

In short, there are a lot of variables.

Paul
