Digital BW, The Print

>>... in PS7 without going down to the 8-bit mode and then back to the
16-bit for the print process?<<

In a situation where you have been forced to downsample to 8 bit, is there
any reason to go back to 16 bit?  Once that data has been "thrown away," you
can't get it back except by interpolation which is just making up data,
right?

Thanks,
