Digital BW, The Print

If I need a silver print on RC paper, I use Mpix.com. If i want a print on Fiber paper, I use my darkroom.
If you email your B&W to mpix and tell them not to color correct, you'll get a perfect file. Their price is really reasonable and you get a true silver print. Don't go to Costco or any other lab that print B&W on color paper. It is not the same.
Their support is also awesome. You have to email them. No phone support. One of the file I ahd sent was damaged and I did not get the print for a show. I emailed them and got a reply instantly every time I answered back. They shipped me the print overnight at no charge.
Check them out.

  I think the key is to find a place that is able to print a fairly
  neutral B&W (watch for green or magenta color casts) consistently. 
  Costco use Fuji Frontier and I recommend the "matte" paper (really a
  semi-gloss) for B&W. I used to do this using Winkflash.com as they
  delivered consistently neutral prints. These days I print everything
  myself.

  Inkjet printers found in prolabs like the Epson R3800 or R2400 (or
  their larger variants) can also achieve this on a wider variety of
  papers. Maybe call around and see what your local photo labs or
  stores would use to print B&W, what type of paper and what it costs?
