Peter,

Why would you want CMYK capabilities (color) for printing
Ziatype (monochrome)?

If you are starting with a color original scan and need to
generate a B/W negative I suggest that you read "Converting
Color to Black and White" by John Paul Caponigro in the
Nov/Dec '98 issue of PhotoTechniques.  I assume that GIMP
has available most of the basic tools needed to process and
mix color information as described in this article.
