Does it exist a specialized printer in black and white?

I guess it does not.

 

Canon had a prototype of dye sub printer in A4 format in the last Photokina, some kind of Selphy pro.

 

But the printer never shipped...

 

A printer only for black and white photography in A4 or A3 format would suit perfectly the new M Monochrom...

Many people have converted Epsons to monochrome using third party inks, e.g., from Cone, which offer 7 shades of black/grey. Even without the MM, the results can be wonderful with the right papers, profiles, etc....and a good printer (human).

I had an Epson 2400 and I bought Quad ToneRIP and Piezography inks to use with it. When it worked, it was fairly good. Much of the time it wouldn't work, and that was because the printer would not recognise the refilled cartridges were full again. I spent a lot of time zapping their chips and recycling the power and in the end I gave up. These days I use an Epson R3000 and the Epson driver which does a satisfactory job with no fuss.

I think that Epson could make a profit from a dedicated B&W printer, but it would cost a bunch more than the standard model.
