Digital BW, The Print

As others have said, the quad/hex workflows are already a simple,
reliable printing method for B/W. (And, I might add, a far sight less
expensive than a 2200)

Yeah, it's sorta annoying to have to keep two printers around, but
even the 2200 prints I've seen really don't quite hold up in BW to
good quad/hextone prints. (Well, except that you can print them on
glossy stock for better dmax.)

Better yet, the gimp-print quad/hextone solution is almost ready for
prime time, and once suitable curves are made that will make greyscale
printing all but seamless.
