Digital BW, The Print

Hi Robert,
I use the Fuji S2 set to its highest resolution.
I've tried just about all the color to b/w conversion's I've read about but
I started using a PS action you can download from Glenn Mitchell's site:
http://www.thelightsright.com/DigitalDarkroom/PhotoshopTools.htm

It give me the best tonal range from any of the other conversion utilities
I've tried and to me its the easiest to use.

For printing b/w I use a Epson 1270 with the MIS b/w inks. I tried using my
Epson 2200 but it always had color casts. I thought of a RIP but that was
much more expensive then buying a used 1270 and the MIS inks.

  Jake:  What digital camera body do you do most of your b&w work on?
  When you convert to b&w in PS, what technique do you use?
