Pereceptual or Relative Colorimetric..., Which is best for printing B&W?

2007-08-25 by SteveZ

What's the consensus of opinion on which "intent" to use for b&w 
printing? I've heard arguments in favor of "Perceptual" without black 
point compression. Still, others suggest using Relative Colormetric. 
Over the past while, I've experimented with both using different matte 
papers and having found much of a difference for monochrome printing.

Have you?
