The HP 7960 is certainly a budget printer in terms of the cost of the
unit, but there's nothing 'budget' about the black and white print
quality - it really does produce the equal of custom RC black and whites
right out of the box. Sadly, there is also nothing budget about the
cost-per-print of those images when you factor in ink costs and print
costs. Because to get archival prints, and top image quality, you do
need to use a top HP paper or the equivalent.

I just hooked up my new HP 7960 printer and the B&W is just great right
out of the box.  No fiddling needed.

PS: As long as I'm off topic ... The Epson R800 or the HP XXXX (four or
five numbers). What's the best way to go for printing budget b/w? (I
regard those two as budget range so if there's something else in that
price bracket, I'd like to know).
