Thanks.  I thought $398 for a profiling kit might be too good to be 
true, but you never know.  Epson ABW is good, but I like to print with a 
slight warm tone (Photoshop gradient fill layer with "selenium #1 dialed 
way back), so it looks like a good paper profile for me.  I also bought 
ImagePrint for my first good printer, an Epson 2200, but as you note it 
cost about as much as the printer these days.

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.
