2K is what I'm calling printing with black and light black inks and 
nothing else.  You can find out which curves use just those inks by 
right-clicking on the curve in the drop down box, and then clicking 
on the 'show curve graph' option that pops up. Should be something 
like 'EEhmMatte-warm-1' Any of the curves regardless of paper type 
with the 'warm' tag will give you just the two black inks. With UC 
inks that curve will give you a nice warm brown tone. then go 
through the rest of the curves for something with blue (magenta and 
cyan) in it, like the 'neutral' curve. Start with a 50% mix, and 
adjust as needed. My modified 2K setup eliminates the 'adjust as 
needed' part for neutral prints, but creates a bit more work for 
other things like normal color printing.
