I use "MK" to mean "matte black."  I think that is standard terminology.
MIS sometimes uses different terminology, and it is confusing.

Yes, that looks correct.

Broader gamut, easier manual profiling, you're on the a learning curve that
is consistent with the Epson K3 and most other advanced OEM printing
systems, large format printers are not as stable with blended B&W inks like
the 3D inkset, it's more open source, and perhaps other reasons I can't
think of.
