Digital BW, The Print

I don't know what printer and inkset you are using, but if you use  
one of the tonable MIS UT inksets, like UT2 or UT7, then the split  
tone effect you want could be done using Paul Roark's workflow with  
curves and layer masks.  You can see one of Paul's split toned prints  
here:
