Digital BW, The Print

Thanks Paul,
I'm with you on the ICCs.  I don't have a flatbed scanner (only 
dedicated film) and would have to send it out to be profiled.  If I 
did want to get this paper profiled, do you have any idea what 
settings to use?  
My guess:
Print w/preview "same as source"
Then in Epson, the default settings you recommend with paper type as 
Premium Semi-Glossy, gamma 1.8?

If I wanted to profile black only on Innova HW Cotton, what settings 
would you recommend?  
Paper type UPGPP, gamma 2.2, black only, sliders to 0?

Best,
Roger
