Digital BW, The Print

Looking for a workflow that defines how to create a custom ICC profile 
for printer and paper.  We use 3 different Epson printers on 2 
different systems.  My plan is to use an Epson Photo EX and Red River 
Paper's Polar Matte notecard stock, and maybe their papers, to print BO 
notecards and prints of my IR images scanned from the original HIE 
negatives. ColorAny help would be greatly appreciated.  Color art 
prints 8x10 or over would be on a 2200 and color note cards on the same 
stock on the C84.  Thanks for your help.  Mike Brouphy

If I understand you correctly, and you are printing Black Only (BO), 
then there is no need to create custom ICC profiles.  You'll get 
whatever the color is of your black ink.  

If that is your intent, you could print a 21 step grayscale on your 
chosen paper, then create a curve adjustment layer in Photoshop so the 
tonal range of your display matches your print.  There are other ways 
to do this too.
