Digital BW, The Print

What would be the result if you had started with a 16bit image, done all of your work, including the curves application, then converted to 8bit just before printing?  Similarly, what happens if you apply the curve before converting to 16 bit in your most recent scenario?  The reason I ask is that I'm still wondering if, when, and how it makes a difference if you print an 8 or 16bit gray file.  I've printed some 8bit files that look just fine.  But, that seems illogical.

Photoshop CS just made me very happy.



The full sepia curve for my latest dual-toner 1280 inkset had visible
stair-steps with RGB 8-bit/channel printing.  When I converted the test file
to 16 bit/channel just before applying the curves, it printed with no
artifacts through the Epson driver.
