Be sure your carts are truly sponge free and not the MIS "sponge free" carts.  (They have a small sponge in the air inlet that the Eboni-6 base appears to attack.)

At http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/Eboni-1800.pdf I described printing with the Epson driver, with or without ICCs.  The Eboni-6 inkset is rather "plug and play."  The ICC approach is the one I like best because it gives one a "color managed" workflow where the relative print densities match the monitor.

That's right.  I often assume QTR users know how to make QTR profiles.  It's easy.  I think the existing tutorials will guide you.  I don't have any Eb6-1800 QTR profiles pre-made.

Good luck with the system.
