I printed and pressed 3 B&W metal prints and they were really dark with shadows heavily blocked.
Printed straight out of Lightroom B&W conversions they looked pretty good. If I converted to B&W in Silver Efex Pro 2 those were the worst of the batch.
If I understand you correctly then I would have thought that this should work reasonably well. Print the test chart using i1Profiler, but don't measure it until you've fully mounted it or pressed it or whatever into final form, then measure it and create the profile using the QTR-Create-ICC-RGB, and print the image with the profile the usual way, either from LR or PS. Is that right? People use these ICCs generated by QTR-Create-ICC with processes like ABW so in theory it's possible.
My understanding is that you're not going to be able to use a profile created this way to print via QTR. To do that you'd need to print the target via QTR. I understood that you need to print the target the same way you will print images. But I don't think printing via QTR will cure your green problem. These QTR curves rely mostly on the three warm blacks, with small quantities of the color inks to achieve neutrality. Creating a QTR ICC isn't going to change the amount of those toning inks used in the QTR curves and so won't make the green tint neutral. You could tweak the toning inks to compensate, but it's a rare skill to be able to do that precisely.
Which on refection has me scratching my head about whether the first approach would work either. I don't see how a QTR-generated ICC will cure your green cast when printed through the Epson driver, it's just a monochrome profile. Based on my experience with using QTR ICCs with warm monochrome inksets, what the QTR RGB ICC will do is show you the color tinge in the soft-proof. But I don't think you can correct for it using this workflow, because you've converting to a monochrome ICC when printing. You'd lose any color adjustments.
I'd have thought that your best chance at neutrality would be to create a regular color profile by scanning in a color target that had been through the entire dye sub process into final form. I'd have thought that approach would correct for the green cast, in much the same way that regular color profiling takes into account warm and cool papers. (I wonder if the digitaldog would agree with this.) Printing B&W using a color profile isn't what I'd normally recommend, but you can get quite acceptable monochrome prints this way with a modern Epson printer.
I'm not sure we have the expertise here to fully help you, either individually or collectively. I've redrafted this multiple times as I keep thinking through the issues. I'll stop now. Best of luck.
