Tyler thanks for indicating the workflow.
Actually, I was thinking (PS Col Pref being AdobeRVB and G2.2) of 
separating the BW part on another document, then convert to BW profile 
and turn it in color (mode/RVB). Col part would be converted to Col 
profile. BW part is paste back to the original Color document and 
disregard Col warnings (though I should not get any). Then print same 
as source, 9800 icm off.

As asked before, if I slightly toned the BW to cope with potential 
casts, GCR shouldn't be much of an issue, while I'd expect optimised  
greyscale output (this needs to be confirmed).

Thanks again Tyler
