In my experience it's almost always cheaper to get prints made at a quality shop (not the pharmacy around the corner, they may be cheap but they deliver poor quality) than to make your own.
The quality of professionally made prints is also almost always higher (unless you buy extremely expensive printers, ink, and papers).

It's only when your volume gets very high (thousands of prints per year) that you start getting cheaper per print than a decent shop delivering quality results.

Canon Pixma range of printers do an outstanding job of this. I would desaturate the image from Photoshop, you can do this with most software. When you print the image you print it in colour, this way you get more tonal range than 256 shades of black
