Yes, 51 steps is sufficient in my opinion. I print on an Epson 3880 and
have also made good use of the B/W test image that Keith Cooper has prepared
that you can find on his website here:
http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/article_pages/test_images.html There are
some good gradients that you can look at when you print to test the quality
of your profile.

Good evening everyone,
thanks for the reply Alan, exact, my intent is to get an ICC profile
optimized for printing in B&W. I had indicated 256 because I had read in a
forum that is a number of patch that allows to obtain a very good profile
for a B&W print: "... all possible levels of gray of a print in
8 bit per channel..."
If according to your experience, 51 patches are enough, I trust.
Thanks again.
