I mostly supported the Epson driver workflow with a QTR "Create ICC-
RGB" approach to make ICCs that had Photoshop curves embedded in 
them.  The basic curves for this are in a Zip file.  I tend to leave 
the rip to those who are familiar with it.

True.

Yes, you can see the PS curves to see the general pattern of glop 
useage.  The PK and PKn are the dark midtone inks.

For the glossy papers, I recommend using no Eboni at all.

You don't need to worry about that with the UT14 inkset.  Don't use 
any eboni on glossy papers.

One approach you might consider is making separate warm and cool 
profiles with just the 2 midtone inks.  Then combine them as needed 
with the sliders.
