QTR-Quadtone RIP

Workflow is:

1-Download images from Nikon D3 or D700 into Aperture 2.1.
2-Edit images in Aperture, occasionally PS.
3-Print using Aperture, using QuadtoneRIP, have also tried PS.
4-Have tried many different settings in QRIP, in both Aperture and PS.
The only problem I have printing is B&W and QRIP.  I can print B&W without QRIP, but the 
images aren't true B&W, even though I've converted to gray scale and tried other methods.  
QRIP prints are true B&W, but are very washed out.

If any other info would help, please let me know and I'll be happy to provide.

Thanks!
Steve
