There are 5 predominant methods of doing BW prints from digital files:

1. Custom profiles using stock inks and drivers
2. Black Only
3. Commercial RIPs
4. Dedicated grayscale inksets (quadtone/hextone) - usually with a
dedicated printer
5. Photographic printing

Each one has advocates here and some people use either more than one
or combinations.   And then within each category there are subcategories.

So if there were one method that was both simple and perfect why would
we need five methods?
