Digital BW, The Print

IJC/OPM, QTR and ImagePrint all have a variety of canned profiles for 
B&W printing.  I know both IJC/OPM and QTR will soon support the 
R800, but I am not sure about ImagePrint.

I'm most familiar with IJC.  There is a large library of curves 
available, so you don't have to create your own curves from scratch.  
If you find a paper/ink/printer combo that give you good results, you 
just print.  Or, if you want a little better results, you can simply 
linearize an existing profile so it performs optimally with your 
printer.  That is fairly easy to do.  IJC supports densitometers, 
spectrophotometers or scanners for linearization.
