I made some profiles for Claria printers some time ago.  They are now in the
QTR R260-MIS Profiles folder.  See the ones that have "N-1" in the names.
 Those are the ones that have magenta (and even yellow for the Aurora paper)
added.

Recently I've been exploring the Noritsu-Epson inks that are sold into the
photo finishing market.  They appear to be bulk Claria inks.  There are a
number of options for using them in B&W.  Some of my initial notes are at
the following URLs.

My interests in these inks comes from their being quite superior on high
gloss media, which I think make good cards and brochures.  They also have
done remarkably well in the Aardengurg Imaging --
http://www.aardenburg-imaging.com/ -- fade tests when sprayed with Print
Shield.  I'm not a fan of these sprays, and for sure will not be spraying my
cards, but for those who want dramatic glossy B&W and just occassionally
want one that is good enough to hang on the wall long term, the sprays make
this possible.  A sprayed Claria black only print is almost as stable as an
Epson UltraChrome "ABW" print.

As a practical matter, I use the 1400 with Eboni-6 (or it's derivatives) as
my main printer.  I've found 4 positions of Eboni are all that are needed.
 So, I'm using the other 2 for other inks.  These will include the Epson
advanced dyes.  See http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/Eboni-4-Plus.pdf  This
PDF is a work in progress.

Hope this is useful to you.
