Digital BW, The Print

Yes, I'm on a 1280.  So, printing with "Eboni-glossy" curves cuts out 
the black position entirely?  While printing with "Photo-glossy" 
curves kicks in the black position (with Photo K installed)?  

I'm assuming a "Photo-glossy" curve with Photo K ink is 100% glossy-
compatible as well..

Also, is gloss differential the same as bronzing?

Thanks for the help, again.
