Yes.  I have done curves for HPR, PJ Omega, PJ Alpha and EAM.

No you need the black.  But it only costs about £19 to swap K inks.  If you
have come from the 21/22/2400 world think about this:  a 220ml ink cartridge
costs £47, a 21/2200 cartridge about £10.  The 220ml cartridge takes about
18x the amount of ink in the 21/2200 cartridge.  (I'll let you do your own
calculations in your own currency.)  Changing the K ink is rounding error
and easily recouped from your ink cost savings - unless of course you change
it for every print.
