Digital BW, The Print

Converted color digicam file.  I have tried this 3 ways:  1. RAW image
 with saturation all the way down. 2. RAW converted to .tiff in adobe
rgb, then made a monochrome with a channel mixer layer 3. covert mode
straight to greyscale in PS.

Profile is dot gain 20%.  

I have tried to print in Adobe RGB with the saturation change to
essentially BW, same outcome.

I see what you are getting at however.  Possibly the profiling
workflow is in error and the printer is looking at a different image
when printing.  

Paper is Epson Enhanced Matte (EEM listed in my original post)
