Hi Paulo,
As you've seen there's not much for the photo papers on the 7600.
I haven't had access to a 7600 with the photo black.
The one NoK profile can be used but it use no black ink -- useful if you
have matte black ink loaded. But I think there's a bigger issue of
bronzing / differential reflections with that ink. Even if you make
great
profiles the bronzing on B&W prints with the original UltraChrome inks
seems to be particularly annoying.
