Digital BW, The Print

Hi Guys/Gals,
Although I'm an old guy I have been  doing digital for about 10 Yrs.
I have not had good experience with B&W so, after reading about Paul's
B&W printing, I've converted my old 1280 with MIS EB6 inks.  Got set up
yesterday and have run a couple of test prints and am pleased with what
I see even though some adjustments need to be made. I've read most of 
Paul's stuff but must admit that curves and other stuff is over my 
head.  What I need to know at the moment is;
Are there profiles or something similar that will allow a more 
consistant output without lots of test prints and trial and error to
adjust brightness and contrast assuming use of the same paper?
Does QTR provide help in that area?  Any advice will be greatly 
appreciated.  Thanks
Tom
