I did not try it.  The ABW mode is geared to having yellow in the yellow
position.  The EZW, being pure carbon, is like a very low gamut yellow in
terms of its color.  Even with this warm carbon in the Y spot, however, the
ABW controls are somewhat limited in the extent to which they can reach the
warm tones.  If cool EZN were put in the Y position, I think you would get
nice cold tones, but you would probably not be able to achieve a neutral
tone at all.  The ABW mode driver puts all the colors -- cmY -- in the
image, and if Y = EZN all of those would be cool.  So, I'd stick to EZW for
a more useable tonal range from the ABW mode controls.
