You'll get a better black with the UT14 as is than with a PK if 
you're using the Epson driver.

I have posted some UT14 profiles in a Zip file that is linked to the 
main UT14 URL below. See http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/1400-
Profiles.zip  There is also a link to a tutorial on how to make the 
ICCs. These tutorial also tell you where to put the ICCs in the 
computer for different OSs.  I think the main UT14 paper included 
information on how to load the ICCs in the print preview.
