With digital taking over the photography industry, I am curious how long it will be before companies start creating machines that will print B&W photos on true B&W paper.

I'm resurrecting this thread because I recently had the opportunity to try out the Epson r2400 printer. This is Epson's new large-body printer that replaces the Epson 2200 printer. The r2400 is touted as being able to print the best black-and-white photographs that the inkjet world has yet seen. I tried a few examples, and I have to say that the output is impressive. I'm not sure it's any more impressive than the black-and-white prints I have gotten from mpix.com, but for do-it-yourselfers at home, the r2400 may make black-and-white printing from digital sources worth another look.
