Digital BW, The Print

The below may be the best way, but I used to just put a  duotone mode 
on it in photoshop. I've used both canned ones and customised ones. 
Haven't done it in years, maybe since version 3 or 4 so don't know 
what they have now in the duotone folder. I used to be happiest with a 
quadtone file rather than a duo or tritone file.
