Inexpensive profiling kits like that one don't really produce very good
profiles, and even the high end profiling devices don't do well for BW
printing. To be honest, the Epson Advanced BW Mode produces FAR more
accurate B&W prints than you'll get from using any color profile, and it is
built-in and free.
I made a tutorial on how to use it:

Tapping the wisdom of the LUG: I would like to start making my own
paper profiles for b&w on Epson printers. B&H has the X-Rite kit on
sale for $389.

Will this be a good solution? Now I am using the Spyder 3 Pro for
monitors, and the factory profiles for papers (Hahnemuelle, Epson etc.)
This is with soft-proofing the paper profiles then adjusting if
necessary. Most of the time the prints are good...but I would like them
to be better. Previously I have used ImagePrint with good results, but
dang it is expensive to keep upgrading for a hobbyist.
