Digital BW, The Print

My post was probably a bit obtuse unless you've used one of the B&W
workflows that use Photoshop image adjustment curves to control the inks.
However, the approach would work with many workflows by making a grayscale
PS curve.  That could be simply put on a layer on the image or put into an
ICC using Roy's Create ICC program.  Then this ICC would be used in the
Print Preview.

Paul and everyone,

I haven't used B&W inks yet because I don't have a separate printer. 
I use the Epson 4000, wish it were the 4200. It prints a neutral B&W.
Anyway, I can't get how one uses the PS curves Paul talks about. I
mean, what do you do with it? Where do you put it? I use LAB a lot
and understand PS pretty well, but can't get a handle on what you all
are doing with these curves to increase the Dmax of a print. Is it
something I might do using the 4000, or must I wait for a dedicated
printer to try?

Thanks for your patience, Yvonne Muller, Bellvale Photography,
