Digital BW, The Print

As you in to B&W, the obvious answer is ImagePrint 5.  It is not a 
flawless product, but on a PC, it does crossover-free B&W, with the 
addition of the tint picker (now they have got that working properly).

You really can have the best of both worlds - colour and B&W in one 
box.  But it is not cheap, and Colorbyte's upgrade pricing structure 
is flawed, in my opinion.

I'm basing these comments on using a 7600 with ImagePrint.
