Digital BW, The Print

I use mainly HPR paper, with composite grey option:
I use CS3 "B&W" adjustment layer with the "Tint" option:
0% for cool tone
1-2% 34° for neutral tone
5%   34° for warm tone

Do you have a better way?

I usually print on HPR (or HPR bright white).
I allow the printer to use color inks to get smoother grey shades.
I got a cool print.
To tone it on PS I add a tint/saturation mask, "redefine" ticked, tint 25:
- saturation 2 to have a neutral print
- saturation 4-10 to have a warm print

Any better suggestion?

I'd say custom profiles may be in your future. The Epson AWB give a fairly
easy way to make toned images. A good solid profile should allow you to
print a neutral image but we all know that a slight variation can mess that
up quick.
