Don't think so. Many third party inks and papers are used with 
the Epson driver + custom profiles. Once you have found 
suitable paper settings in the driver and made the custom 
profile you could keep that new custom profile and calibrate 
(in my view it is more linearise) the printer from time to 
time with the Epson paper the settings were intended for. A 
few sheets at most. Inks like MIS Pro are probably so close in 
specs that the calibration will work. It may even compensate 
the slight difference in densities between the two like it 
would compensate differences between Epson ink batches.

I have been speculating a bit so far, now I rather wait for 
how it can be used (or hacked).
