Digital BW, The Print

Hi, Tyler and Eric. Thank you for taking the time to respond. I appreciate it.  My post was confusing. I print both color and bw. I am attempting to understand exactly what I am doing. I have followed Clayton's formula for BW printing and am now wanting to experiment. So I am attempting to understand what an icm,  paper profile and paper selection do.  And how I might manipulate these things. In color I have used Epsons standard paper setting with their papers. When I've used other papers I've had to make changes,for example magenta, etc. to get the print I want. When I use  the ABW in the epson I end up making the similiar adjustments for coolness, neutral and warmth. When I choose a paper Clayton hasn't given specific settings for I am not sure what I should do. I've read Paul's article on Making B&W Iccs w a flatbed scanner and have a very vague understanding at this point.  I am not sure what the paper setting tells the printer, what the icm tells the printer, what Paul's ICCs tell the printer and how those things are similiar or different and how I might manipulate these things to get what I want.

The papers I am currently experimenting with are the Premiere BW Matte paper and Moab BW Entrada. 

Thank you.
