Digital BW, The Print

Rick, Inkjet B&W print will never look like traditional darkroom 
prints. Totally neutral B&W prints have been the Holy Grail for 
inkjet printers. Most B&W archival inks have a slightly warm cast.  
MIS-FS/neutral or MIS-VM inks will probably get you as close to 
neutral as you can get. That requires a dedicated B&W inkjet printer 
with one of those inksets.
