My write-up/PDF on using the 1400 with standard color Claria inks (Black #
T079120<http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/jsp/Product.do?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&sku=T079120>)
is at

The best profile I have made uses not just the black ink but also the light
color inks to make the print smoother and a more appropriate tone.  The PDF
links to a Zip file with profiles.

"Claria-BO-RR-ArcPolSat-HalfColor" is the name of one that uses the color
inks for half of the grays and black for the other half.  This compromise
between color and black only is smooth enough for most images.  The color
constancy and metamerism are acceptable for most uses if a really good
carbon pigment based B&W image is nearby to compare to.
