Digital BW, The Print

Stick to a Gray Gamma 2.2 (or Adobe RGB) workspace.  Leave the controls
other than the "hue" (the colour picker) in their default positions and
figure out your favourite hue setting for various papers that you use.  Use
PS as your image editor rather than the driver.  If you have access to a
densitometer or spectrophotometer, couple this with a QTR ICC profile for
each of your favourite settings and papers.  (If you don't have access to
one, others here who do may be prepared to measure and make the profiles for
you from patch strips you print.)

Papers worth trying include Epson Ultrasmooth and Hahnemuhle Photorag, but
there are many others.  Listen in here and you'll quickly learn the usual
suspects.

Have fun!
