Roger,
I didn't mentioned the ambient light and or viewing conditions because
that's a Pandora's box. Let's assume D50 viewing conditions for know.

What a difficult subject, Yves.
As a matter of fact, I just printed a "Grayscale" image on my Epson P5000
earlier this week.
I placed it on my drawing table until I cut it with my x-acto. It must have
stayed on the table all night.
If I look at the print next to the window in my office, it looks sort of
"neutral-bluish"; if I look at it under my LED ring light task lamp, it
looks "reddish-magentish"; if I look at under my GTI overhead luminaire
fitted with ISO-3664:2009 fluorescent tubes, it looks "brownish".
That's using Epson Proofing Standard 240, printing in RGB from Photoshop
using Epson's own ICC profile for this paper.

Subject: [argyllcms] B&W printing
Hi,
I'm curious to know if someone would have some suggestion(s) to create an
ICC profile of whatever type (device link, abstract, normal) for a RGB
Printer that would produce the best possible B&W print in terms of
neutrality. I suppose that neutrality must be defined in some way as well
and suggestion on how to verify that the print is matching the criteria we
set as neutrality.
Thanks,
Yves
