QTR-Quadtone RIP

I downloaded QTR v2.4.2 to try it out. I'm new to quad tone printing. 
I would like to learn to create custom curves for a an Epson R220 
with an MIS UTR2 Neutral ink set and starting with EEM paper. I am 
trying to follow the "Creating and Editing Curves with QuadToneRIP" 
in the QTR User Guide. I'd very much appreciate some guidance please. 

Questions:

1) First, is what I'm trying to do a good idea or even possible? 

2) In QTR calibration mode, after I choose R220 for the printer name, 
Quadr200-GQ is shown in the printing model DDL box. Should I ignore 
this? 

3) The Ink Separation Test Page is in color. Should I just print it 
with the MIS inks and examine the grayscale print?

4) Should the source image be in color or grayscale?

5) I also have have an Epson 2200 with Epson ink carts installed. 
Would I be better off using QTR with the 2200 color inks?



Notes:
- I've calibrated my monitor with a Spyder 2.
- I've calibrated my Epson V750 scanner with EZcolor.
- I've created custom ICC profiles for the Epson 2200 with EZcolor
- I thought I'd get more neutral blacks with the R220/MIS inks.
- I'm hoping I can get even better results with QTR.

Thank you for any advice,

Michael
