There are dozens of ways but this seems to be one of the most reliable. Cannot recommend Martin Evening's book too much. Heck, I could almost buy a Noctilooney for what I've spend on Adobe and manuals. I've little or no experience printing with all the fine pigment inks from MIS and Media Street except the Eboni black. I do Black Only printing when doing b&w and prefer it to what else I've seen. BTW, I think (not entirely sure) with Channel Mixer you can covert to monochrome but still retain the color channels. Not the same as just dumping all but one channel and making a true grayscale..
