Digital BW, The Print

Richard,

You mention CMYK, but if you are using an Epson driver without a RIP, you 
only need go to RGB. The Epson driver takes the RGB (which it thinks is real 
color information) and separates it internally into CMYK.

The reason to convert grayscale to RGB  is to control how the grayscale will 
eventually separate into the 4 inks. If some of these inks are tinted (see Paul 
Roark's methods), you also control monochrome tints for different tonal areas.

Does that  help?
