This works so long as your system does not need to play nice with others.
That is, you are setting up a closed imaging/printing system and you will
not be sending out or receiving files where you need a high level of
confidence that you and someone else are seeing the 'same thing' on both of
your monitors. This would include working with service bureaus and printers.

There is some confusion here. Ink delivery will be either CIS or
cartridges. For high output CIS is the way to go, as you have chosen, and
you will not have to concern yourself with cartridges.

Epson's printers use two different types of inks - dye-based and pigment.
You will want to consider which is more appropriate to your uses before you
can select a printer model. See the Epson list I referred you to earlier
for more than you want to know about these joys. Print/color permanence is
one issue involved here.
Also, if you are not already, be aware that just because you can
produce/see a color on your monitor does not mean you can print it on paper.
Best of luck.
