Digital BW, The Print

Another way to do split-tone, when using a color inkset, is, in 
Photoshop, with your BW image in RGB mode:

Choose SELECT>COLOR RANGE, and then choose 
MIDTONES. Go into one of the individual color channels and with 
LEVELS, slide the middle gamma triangle one way or the other. 
Then DESELECT that selection, and repeat the process, but this 
time choosing HIGHLIGHTS, and then swing those tones a 
different way, with a different color channel. With HIGHLIGHTS, 
you might even use CURVES instead, and pull down the 
highlight so that it contains some tone now. 

The variations are endless. But the splittone effect is easy with 
this method, (if you're using color inks, 2200 etc).
