Since I'm already doing BO with MIS Ebony on matte paper, I'm thinking of using another cart for HP-PK BO on glossy paper. I've tried MIS Photo black for BO printing on glossy paper but find the tone much too warm for my taste.

This is a bit of a mystery to me. I've got Ebony in one cart and MIS cleaning fluid in the other carts. I gather that QTR finds the Ebony ink because it's in the black ink position. But if I added HP-PK in antoher cart, how would QTR find it? Is the printing profile linked to a cart? Sorry for not being more proficient with QTR.

I've downloaded the profiles and PDF at the link that you've provided. Thanks.
