RGB for Black and white with 2200?

2005-03-06 by Mark Rabiner

RGB for Black and white with 2200?
I searched the archives for RGB but came up with squat so I apologize for
what I¹m sure is something you¹ve gone over time and time again.
But the nice guy at the pro photo shore says if I print on greyscale it¹s
just using the black ink. Not sure if he said its even using the grey.
But RGB makes use of all the inks. (from a monochrome grey print)
Would that really be true?

I find myself introducing as much color as possible into my mainly black and
white work.
Duo toning to the max or just playing around making the shadows cyan blue
and the mid tones red.

So much for the ³silver² print. (in look)
This from a guy who went with Brovira over Portriga in the 70¹s!
And with the hope that I¹m getting all those little carts going at once.
Making for a richer smoother fuller print.

Any basic in reality?
