Digital BW, The Print

An alternate suggestion:
If you're new to digital printing, whatever "system" you buy into will 
require time and a certain level of  proficiency with new tools to get 
great prints. Sometimes it's helpful to see examples of high quality at 
the outset, to give you something to shoot for while you're getting up 
to speed with all the new equipment. I don't know what part of the 
country you're in, but I'm sure many list members can recommend 
some of the few top quality print studios using quadtones. (Disclaimer: I 
operate one in NYC). So it might be worth having a print made by one 
of them. Then you can talk to that particular studio about what 
"system" they used to produce your print, and why.

I'm a big believer that the quality of information from any sourceÑ
book, web site, what have youÑis determined by the skill and 
experience of the person behind that source. If someone makes prints 
of an acceptable quality to you, that's who you want recommendations 
from. Best of luck.
