Digital BW, The Print

Does anyone have a good profile for tweeking B & W on Epson Canvas - 
can't seem to get rid of the magenta, and it also seems too muddy.

I am printing w/Epson 4000, using the Watercolor ICC profile.

This sounds like the same problems trying to get good b&w on any media with the Epson drivers.  You'll be very lucky if you get it.  A RIP or dedicated b&w inkset is probably the only solution.

I used watercolor radiant white as Epson recommends and the results are great (using an 
RGB file and all inks of course)
