The intent of the "EZ" systems -- the C86/88 and R2 for 220 and others --
was to allow monotone ICCs, curves, or slider adjustments that would control
any arrangement of ink tones. 

There are 2 tones -- warm (pure carbon) and neutral-cool (depending on
paper).  The easy way to deal with this inkset is to simple put in different
combinations of warm and neutral carts.  

The densities of the dark shades of both neutral and warm are the same.
Likewise the warm and neutral LC, LM, and Y are all the same.

So, have 4 midtone bottles on hand:  Dark (C or M) Warm, Dark (C or M)
Neutral, Light (LC, LM or Y) Warm, and Light (LC, LM or Y) Neutral.

If MIS has spongeless carts, you can have fewer of them a simply flush
between tones.  

Try the same monotone ICCs, curves or slider settings for any combination of
the different tones.

I'm often find with cotton papers that a warm in the Y spot and the rest
neutral works well.

General information on the inkset and the settings I used are at

with specific driver settings at page 5.
