Digital BW, The Print

As I mentioned in another post, I had a custom profile made with the driver set to 
PhotoRealistic mode instead of No Colour Management. While this apparently restricts the 
gamut, it also seems to result in curves with minimal crossover. The Archival Matte profile 
I have produces quite neutral grayscale, and would therefore allow you to do what you 
want. OTOH, Semi Gloss still suffers problems. But if you're happy to use Matte or Photo 
Rag, it might do the trick.
