yes and yes imo

a "cooler" more neutral black than Epson's rather warm UC black

and on most papers better ("blacker") blacks

It can sometimes seem to make colour printing a bit cooler, but most colour
prints with the Epson driver seem to use very little actual black ink in
them unless there is a lot of true black in the image (ever notice how
slowly black runs out compared to the other inks when printing colour) - and
so I have never rally found this noticeable
