Why not begin by asking the questions that have popped up at this point?

I shoot  both digital and film; DSLR, 35mm and MF.  I have all 
the "stuff" in  place to print good quality B&W for the first time 
since putting my  wet darkroom away many, many years ago.  Epson R800 
with MIS Eboni  inks, QuadRIP, great archive paper, etc, etc.

But the more I read, the  more "confusered" I become; printer setups, 
photoshop setups, RIP setups,  paper ICC profiles, Macbeth B&W strips, 
MIS forums, Epson  forums.  My head is spinning!!

Now I am certain that I am not the  only "old-schooler" that is going 
through this angst, but where do I begin  to get a grip on this 
workflow?  Does anyone, Epson or some Wizzard,  have a travelling 
workshop that will make this clear enough that I can get  started and 
not have to flounder through it experimentally to the waste of  
expensive paper, inks and good will?  Is there a straight-ahead  
tutorial site where the information is presented in a comprehensive  
way and not all fragmented by manufacturer?

Any body got some  pointers for me?

Thanks so much!
