Digital BW, The Print

Tony that was my question - how to get PS's duotone to match hue.  I can see
in concept that it would work but can't get it down in practice short of an
enormous amount of fiddling and guess work.  Is there a more
regimented/precise way to go about matching the hue or is it really a case
of a lot of fiddling?
