Digital BW, The Print

It all recalls some memories of using my Epson 9000 with a custom quad 
set + the Wasatch SoftRip. That was before QTR existed. Converting a 
greyscale TIFF to a CMYK TIFF where each channel had the same content 
the greyscale TIFF had. Taking out one channel of CMY with a zero curve 
in the RIP so no black generation happened and applying 3 curves for the 
remaining 5 channels to fit the grey inks.  Linearisation as available 
in the RIP per channel but not on the total partioned result. It worked 
but what a hassle. It was nice to be there when QTR was created.

BTW if that would be a route then you can download the odd greyscale to 
CMYK converter here:
