Alessandro, I'm sorry no one has picked up on this thread. I guess I 
haven't because I'm not quite sure what to say about it. I've stayed 
away from Photoshop's duotone modes because they don't seem to relate 
to anything meaningful when actually printeding. I'm pretty sure the 
image will be converted to RGB before printing and your ink 
separations will be messed up.
I think you will find you can do presisely this same kind of the with 
CMYK ink setups in Photoshop. The exact colors of the inks can be 
entered, as well as their dot gains. THe quadtone will be represented 
on the monitor and if printer with a CMYK RIP, will print the CMYK 
file precisely. The are also ways to make the Epson driver print the 
CMY properly, but K gneration control will be take from you.
