The cyan channel has cool inks in it.  The magenta channel is warm carbon.  A profile that uses mostly the cyan channel will give a neutral-cool print.  This can be done with either QTR or the Epson dirver -- with PS curves preferably in an ICC.  I think there are profiles in a zip file linked to the PDF>
