Digital BW, The Print

Very true, but that suggestion was strictly to produce a numerically gray
file to assess the resulting tone of the print i.e., the green hue.  That
would take the monitor calibration out of the equation.  The original poster
also seems to have confusion about the role of ABW; reading the manual again
is in order, followed by any more questions he may have.

Best regards,

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..
