Three words: Quad Tone RIP (I think it's three words, anyway).

It will let you print B&W that is accuratly linearized (nice detail
from shadow to highlight, and a good ability to get a screen to print
match) give you relatively neutral tones, and will eliminate
metamerism (weird color shifts when going from daylight to tungsten
light to fluorescent light).
