Yes, and it requires the i1 or similar, I assume.

Are those ICCs useable in the Print with Preview procedure with the Epson
driver?

I use an X-Rite for my curves and simply input the points manually in
Photoshop curves.  I don't find it a problem, but I understand that
automation is needed for many.  I hope my tutorial helps those who want to
do it via eyeball.

What I'm shooting for in a universal EZ B&W hextone (+ maybe septone)
approach.  (I can make inks from K3 as well as MIS if needed -- no one gets
a monopoly here.)  I'll help make the initial curves for the different
printers, but I want a very low entry barrier, student and starving
artist-compatibel, system that uses the Epson driver.  I'd really welcome
the QTR ICC approach alongside the manual PS curves approach to linearizing.
One advantage of the ICC approach is that PS Elements can use them and not
Transfer Functions -- at least in the Elements version I have.
