Help on printer suggestion

I shoot nikon and I have to say the people are a bit tough on that thread.

So Dye ink is pretty but only for a short period of time, plus it maybe easier on the printer when its not being used that often, is that correct? Pigment ink lasts longer, resistant to water, and has more pro qualities to the finished product but may have more clogging problems?

I shoot weddings, well I try, I have been in business for 8 years now and I must say my booking are way down. I would like to think its the economy and not my work.. duh.

I was thinking of getting a nice printer and offering a larger print in my packages. I normally dont do that since I have albums and slide shows that I include.

Or I could justify a good printer for the B&W quality and try and up sell the prints, canvas etc. to my past and future customers.

Have you compared the B&W quality on the prints of the 2880 and 3000 to lab prints?

I dont think they can do real B&W like a good inkjet. Thoughts on that? Other wise I may as well just get the 1430 or r2000 and print color only.

If I can get low cost ink then I will probably do more hobby printing too.
