Digital BW, The Print

Hi,
Printer is: Epson R285 (I guess it is R280 in the  US)
Inkset is: Ultratone 3d 
Curve was from Utratone 3d downloadpage from Paul Roark and uses the two dark greys for black (I could leave MK unused in the printer).
I think it was made for Permajet FB-Paper. I relinearized it
for Harman Gloss Baryta. After making the icc it was a bit less warm.
I´m not quite sure if i got the process quite right. I applied the curve to the 21-steptab, the n printed it out with UPG and gamma 2.2 no colormanagement. I scanned it with a print that I made of the steptab with an already existing profile and scanned them together. The print with the curve was light and very warm. i followed the instructions of Paul Roarks pdf : making iccs with a flatbedscanner. In the end  I got a perfect greyscale and very good looking prints. The relinearized profile does´t look as the first print of the (way to light) 21-step with just the curve applied. I don´t exactly understand what the icc does.
