Be sure to read http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/Eboni-6.pdf

On page 6 I have a link to zip file with some profiles.

Frankly, I usually use the Epson driver with an ICC made with QTR's Create ICC-RGB, but the PDFs cover all of the workflows.

I edit in workspace gray gamma 2.2 in Windows, which has a distinctly different printing characteristic curve than does QTR. So, you'll see in the PDFs that I use a curve (in the zip file) to adjust for the QTR more straight-line curve.  There are a number of different ways to handle this issue.

What paper and profiles are you using for the Eboni-6 setup?
