I never use print-to-file.

But, if you have a grayscale file, drag it into the QImage queue and 
it will show it as a grayscale file. If you drag a RGB file into the 
queue, it shows as a RGB file.

Maybe the way you have "print-to-file" set up, it converts files to 
RGB?

image when resize or sharpening isn't applied I'm not sure but if 
it's a "print to file" file it's rgb.  QI doesn't tell you it's 
converting but grayscale in rgb out.  I believe QI is why Roy came 
out with those rgb-matte and rgb-photo icc files a while back.
