Digital BW, The Print

I posted this to another group a few days ago and received a respone 
which was rather generic although useful. If somehere has more 
specific information as to what to use and where to get them please 
advise.

We have a facility we use to train students in Photoshop editing and
printing using pcs. The monitors used are office type lcds, nothing
elaborate like the monitors we use for our production work. We have a
I1 Photo spectro with match software and a Monaco XR Pro colorimeter
and software which we use to calibrate the production monitors.

What tests, ramps, images etc can be used to evaluate and obtain the
best monitor profile for these monitors? I can probably do at least a
dozen different profiles using different setups within these two tools
but other than a obvious color cast it is dificult to judge which
method is providing the best profile. Im not trying to make a silk
purse out of a pigs ear, just trying to do the best with what we have
to work with. The images worked up and printed will be primarily color
photography printed tp Epson matte paper.

Thanks again for any advice.
