I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet: You can start with a greyscale
image, then introduce the tone in Photoshop (Image > Mode > Duotone...,
load one of the canned setups, or make your own). Print with a full gamut 
colour inkset -- if you have fairly strong toning you won't mind, or even 
notice, slight shifts in colour.

Here's an online sample of a Photoshop quadtone:

I admire Mark Tucker's stuff too, but I am not in his league.
