Shel, I print color to regular RC b&w paper whenever I feel like
it here in the back room w/ the old Durst. I guess they do differ
somewhat from a "real" b&w neg, but not enough to matter (to me
and the folks that see them). In your case (since you are making
just a "guide" for later cropping at an out-lab), I'd just do it
and make less of an affair out of it. My Durst uses a Tungsten
bulb, so that may make a difference - but if you get the image
on the paper cropped as desired ... BINGO, you're done.
