Yes, that PDF should have what you need.  The Profiles Zip file that is linked to UT14 PDF has several warm AVC curves in it.  You'll need to print those to see which is best.  Then read the 21-step test print and drop that text output along with the curve on the QTR rgb-raw-16.psd file (converted to raw).  

Matte papers will only get up to about Lab B = 8 with this carbon.  Crane Silver Rag makes the best looking sepia I've seen with the MIS carbon.

Let us know how it works out.
