The best soltions have been quad black ink sets in Epson printers, though
they have had their problems. Jon Cone just announced his new quad system
at PMA that uses Canon printers, which is said to have solved most of the
problems associated with the Epsons. The system doesn't require proprietory
software, is icc savy (soft proof in photoshop), the heads can be washed in
warm water, extra heads are available and interchangeable with different
inksets (neutral, warm, cool, selenium etc.), speeds are 4 times Epson's,
there is less bloom on gloss papers and all that for less $ than the epson
systems. It's supposed to be available in the near future at inkjetmall.com
