QTR-Quadtone RIP

this is a new world to me.I have tried making Black & White images with my 1400 and they have a blue tint to it.I do not know much about profiles or profile tools.i had hoped to get better prints and someone sent me off in this direction.Is this a dead end?Is there a better way of printing & What would that be?I want to use my printer for color[It is outstanding on this task]& Black & white.Would the QTR force me to only use my printer for B&W work?Sorry if I am not fluent in this subject.Just a 57 year old retired telephone repairmen looking for guidance .Thanks for any help you can provide!
