Not sure what I did wrong last time, but probably printing the target was printed using the wrong setting: I now choose the setting: let printer manage color and in the printer driver I choose: ABW > dark. After drying the target I scanned the target and export the data in CIELAB format txt and dropped the data first on QTR-Linearize-Data.exe to linearize the data and afterwards the generated *out.txt file is dropped on QTR-Create-ICC.exe to generate the BW profile.
First in PS: convert to profile (relative colorimetric, BPC: on) and afterwards assign profile (Gray 2.2). I print with the same setting as the original target is printed: ABW > dark.
I now get better result with deeper blacks and contrast in the shadows than the normal ABW-mode without the linearisation profile. Previously the blacks/dark shadows were crushed.
Not sure but I think the previous time I choosed: color managemnt = OFF and this time I choose: color management = let printer manage color.
