Digital BW, The Print

The way you send files to them is as follows.
You do whatever you want to get the BW in PS, sized at the print you
desire, at 300 dpi.
Then convert the file to sRGB if it is not already in sRGB
They have no profile for soft proofing, but it is really not necessary
with their workflow
It should be saved  as level 10 jpg
You then work with them on 5 test prints which are free
Basically, if your monitor is calibrated, yhese should come out OK
If there are issues, they will work with you
The test prints are on a luster surface, but you can get Fuji High
Gloss when you actually send in prints for production after the test
phase.
 Hope this helps, but please post your results !
