Digital BW, The Print

I am new to this group, so easy please!


I have recently upgraded to the above printer from R1800 (had many
problems with a rogue printer that was eventually considered DOA).

I do not have a digital camera (apart from compact), and I tend to
shoot slides. 35mm + MF. I scan trannies on Minolta Multi Pro

Would I be best to 

1. Shoot b&w negs, scan and print (I have never tried Scala, but I am
sure it is restrictive).

2. Shoot colour slides & use The Imagingfactory software 'Convert To
B&W Pro' plugin within Photoshop

3. Shoot colour slides & use Epson Advanced B&W photo to convert to
B&W

4. Shoot colour slides & use Photoshop without third party plug in to
convert to B&W.



Thanks in advance
