Digital BW, The Print

--When you say convert to grayscale in channel mixer do you mean 
check the monochrome box then manipulate the sliders for each 
channel and the save? Is this better then using levels and curves  
to convert the RGB data to monochrome? I am using Imageprint on an 
Epson 2200 and getting great black and white. Thanks
