Digital BW, The Print

I recently tried a recommendation from Paul Schrantz in the "Matering 
Digital Photography" piece from PhotoTechniques.  Basically, take a 
grayscale image, convert to RGB and print in the ColorMatch color 
space.  Appearantly the limited gamut of Colorspace helps.  It worked 
better than the gray balancer and dot gain curves for me and seems 
pretty neutral to my admittedly ameteur eye.  I'm working with EAM.  
It is easy and worth trying.
