Digital BW, The Print

Hi Eddy,

Entirely scanner/software dependant.  That is why it may be better to simply
scan in RGB and do the conversion in PS, where I believe you can change the
mix (though they offer a canned one as well, but that is for conversion from
a color image to a B&W image).

Regards,

Austin
