Digital BW, The Print

A couple of points mentioned by others.

1 Your setup should be RGB. The Epson printer is an RGB device. If you 
are using a printing press then yes use CMYK.

2. Qimage is good at printing. But turn off colour in the Epson driver 
and use a profile from your paper manufacture within Qimage, in fact 
let Qimage control everything.

3 Qimage does not replace Photoshop. Do your colour adjustments in PS 
and then save to disk. Then let Qimage resize to the final print size 
for you.

4 You may want to try Quadgui for B&W's.
