Digital BW, The Print

You won't get this with oem inks. You'll need a hex set of black inks
such as the VM or FS inks from MIS.  THen you'll need to use one of Paul
Roark's curves to print it properly on the paper you choose. He has
written his curves for Epson's Archival Matte paper, and possibly a few
others. You change your grayscale file to RGB just before printing it.
Once you get a good print on the EAM paper, you can usually use many
other papers, with just a small tweak in photoshop's adjustment layers
