Digital BW, The Print

Is there a tutorial on how to better navigate this Yahoo B&W Printing site?

I'm finding it hard to follow these threads. Furthermore, the jargon used here is very 
technical.


I want to become a better photographer and B&W Printer, but maybe this site is a bit 
advanced for me.

Any advice on what to read and how maximize my current setup?
I use the following:

Canon 20D camera w/ 24/2.8, 28/1.8, 50/1.4 and 85/1.8 lenses.
1280 Printer w/ MIS Eboni Black Only Ink
iMac G5
Adobe PSCS2
Epson EM Papers & Red River Dourian Art  papers

I've studied Clayton Jones' web site and got Black Only printing down OK, but I'd like to 
eek out a bit more from my prints.

I shoot mainly family life images w/ a fair amount of landscape/architecture.

I really like artists like Walker Evans, Eugene Smith and Margaret Bourke-White.
