Digital BW, The Print

I'm not sure if PowerRIP X behaves the same way as PowerRIP 2000 for
windows, but here's the settings I use:

It doesn't matter whether your image is grayscale or RGB. PowerRIP
doesn't require any special settings for BW. An advantage of RGB is
that you can easily change the tone of the image with curves or
combine color and black and white in the same picture.

When printing use 'Postscript color management' as output profile.
This will give you the most neutral prints. If you're interested you
can also try one of the grayscale profiles, like  'Gray gamma 2.2'.
This will make a print using the black and light black only which will
look very brown.

Select 2880dpi and your paper type in the driver setup. 

That's it.
