Digital BW, The Print

Go easy on me...like I said, this is all new:

Apple CD is calibrated with a Monoco X-rite Pro and I'm using Epson
drivers.I'll go to print and let photoshop deal with color, use
Epson'sprofile for the sampler pac, printer set to have color mgmt.
off, hit print and that's that.
