Digital BW, The Print

I need some help understanding this latest QTR advance.
I have been using a ColorVision Spyder (original) for monitor 
profiling, and PhotoCal for (color) print ICC profiles with my Epson 
1280.  Can't do B&W profiling with that setup. I have a (Monaco 
profiled) 1680 flatbed as well, and use a Nikon 8000.

I tried UT2/1280/with the Roark curves and was unsuccessful at 
achieving any kind of match with the monitor within my limit of 
patience, so moved on to QTR.  Using QTR and some fiddling with ink 
limit sliders I could get reasonably close match, and decent output, 
but I'd love to have a more rigorously profiled B&W system.

Does using the Eye-One Display (model one) being currently
remaindered allow this?  It would seem not, since it is an 'emissive' 
device, but I'm confused because of the Eye-One Photo which seems to 
include a spectrophotometer that measures reflective output as well 
as screens and transmission...

Roy's instruction files in QTR seem to call for measuring output 
patches on printed grayscales, which makes perfect sense, but I don't 
know if the Eye-One Display would allow that.  I can't afford the Eye-
One Photo setup at this point.

Any clarification/advice from the experienced?

thanks
