Digital BW, The Print

You guys are so far ahead of me that I feel like I'm never going to catch
up. I've doing my "black and white" printing by mainly converting to
duotones and using my own tweaked "grey" set which has warms, cools, and
selenium purples in it. Based one the one Photoshop already gives you.

Black. 
    With the curve very much favoring the right
Pantone Cool grey 10c  (looks neutral to me, but helps out)
Pantone warm  grey 7c (very slight warming effect)
Pantone  437c
    Which I¹d call Selenium purple

And de saturating the magenta sometimes.
And the color seems ok. I use Epson enhanced matt with a 2200.
Before that I used a 1200 which I got when it came out. Had converted that
to MIS then continuous MIS. Then back.
So I have lots of experience  but when I see what you guys & dolls are up to
and into I know I've only hit the very tip of the iceberg.

I'm half thinking maybe get another 2200 and MIS Quadtone that.
Or upgrade to the 4000.

I'm interested in any and all opinions.

If there's someone in the Portland Oregon area who wants to drop by and
throw me a rope; show me the light at the end of the tunnel; look at my
color spaces and laugh please give me a call.
I'll buy you lunch.
I am a photographer so you'd be contributing to the welfare of the species.
Here's my info:

Call any time my office is downtown and if I'm asleep I don't hear the
phone. Or upstairs watching TV. Or reading War and Piece.
