Digital BW, The Print

I've been lurking for a while and finally ordered the MIS UT carts for 
my 1280. Paul's workflow seems pretty clear, although I would like to 
verify the color space settings. I understand that I need to convert 
the RGB image to AdobeRGB (which will become the source colorspace), 
and I'm assuming that I should select "Same As Source" for the output 
colorspace since the printer driver is run NCA?

I also gather that while I do not need to flush the heads, it is 
recommended that I clean the parking pads? I downloaded the purge 
patterns from MIS to use to clean out the traces of the Epson dyes.

And finally, are the curves on the MIS workflow page and the ones from 
the Files section here the same? Which are the latest, if not?

Thanks
