Digital BW, The Print

IMHO it is best to print B&W images in the ABW from gray scale files, but
that is just the way I work. To simply desaturate an image doesn't give you
control of tonal conversion. Why give up that control? Do you conversion to
B&W and print the B&W file in the ABW mode. Unless you have a profiling
system for color that you can make work better/ with more detail in the
blacks, blah, blah, blah..
