Doug,

That is a very high standard using OEM color ink sets.  The only way to
know, of course, is to use the printers yourself, and that may not be
practical for a number of reasons, including the time needed for the
learning curve.  I think you will find, like most, that one of the better
Epsons, like the 2400 or 3800 or up, depending on your print size
requirements, will be your best bet, along with custom paper profiles or a
RIP like ImagePrint. You also have the option of buying third-party
dedicated b&w inksets.  Those work well if you print a lot so the cartridges
don't have time to clog.  Hope this helps a little.
