Digital BW, The Print

I'll give this a try but wouldn't it pick up the reduced dynamic range of
the print.  I should have been more specific perhaps.  I'd like to tint the
image file similar to say a warm print but keep the full dynamic range (as
opposed to a file "soft-proof").  For example, if someone wants to send an
image to a magazine and have it printed with the same hue as their QTR warm
curve but won't have input into the printing process (and so need to send a
colour image rather than a greyscale).
