    Its okay as CMYK. Greyscale isn't really a print value, its a photographic value. I would imagine that indesign auto-converts it to CMYK and it should make it c0 m0 y0 k100. If not, you just need to adjust it to that.

    To be absolutely sure I would make it a CMYK with those values in Illy before importing it. For the record if you send a greyscale to print it will geenrally come out as a very dark tint of black, not balc itself, becuase a 100% black in greyscale only equates to about 90-95% black in print.
