The Eye-one Design uses a spectrophotometer, it doesn't have a need 
for the Hutch targets, and the Design level of software does not let 
your profile scanners, so again, no need for Hutch IT8 targets. As 
far as profiling for B/W, you could use the spectrophotometer to 
profile that printer with the ICC module within Quadtone RIP. That 
ICC module is stand alone, so you don't have to use QTR to use the 
profiling.

I never tried the included Design software to try and make a B/W 
profile, so I can't say if it will work or not.
