Digital BW, The Print

I have been through the postings here on improving B&W on the 2200, 
but I can't seem to get many things straight--so I think I am 
missing some essential piece of information.

MIS has come out with a set of B&W cartridges for the 2200--but 
there is no "workflow" or "curves" or something that is supposed to 
go with them if you are running a PC.  I called them about it and 
they said that they are still working on them, but I could make my 
own.  

How do I do that?  It seems that something has to tell the printer 
which cartriges to use and how much of each--and that does not seem 
very feasible for me to do (since I haven't a clue).  Is there some 
easily understandable way to do this?

Also, someone sent me some ICC profiles.  I always print with no 
color management set in the driver.  Are these profiles of any use 
in that case?

The answers to these are probably obvious, but from my reading here, 
I have only gotten more confused!
