Thank you for the insights regarding adding individual MIS cartridges
as the ink gets low. 

And now that the subject of profiling the 2400 for MIS inks, to
preferably match or nearly match the default Epson profiles is on the
table - would those who have found their preferred way to adjust the
2400 settings or other (Photoshop ?) means to hopefully replicate the
default Epson profiles contribute what settings they adjusted to make
the prints look best. Including, if possible color.

In other words, if one were using, for example, the Kirkland Glossy
paper (or the EEM matte) what adjustments worked best and how. The
included Epson profiles for the 2400 as Clayton found for the Velvia
setting, are quite good. I would assume that a number of folks have
worked out their own adjustments. It would be valuable to try or work
with those as a starting point for those of us who are to use the MIS
colors and B&W.

PS In fact, Clayton's recommendation of the Velvia Fine Art setting
from his workflow pages on his site, was tremendously time saving and
helpful to a number of folks I know. 
I don't quite know of someone who has anything comparable for full
color users, in terms of adjustments with MIS inks, but such might exist,

These are my R2400 MIS K4 findings. To my surprise, Advanced B/W Photo
option using the standard Neutral color toning printed on Epson
premuium glossy papers (both Epson Luster and Epson Semi-Gloss paper
type) produces very neutral prints (in my judgement.) 

In the short time I have been using the printer and K4, so far this is
the best way to get a neutral B/W print for me. By tweaking the B/W
toning setting, I was also able to get fairly neutral print on
Kirkland paper.

Using QTR and K4, I have not been able to get a neutral print so far.
The K4-PK is warm and it is very difficult to neutralize PK. For some
reason, I also noticed very very fine banding with the QTR prints
printed @ 2880dpi (that I have not noticed using standard Epson
driver.) QTR is an excellent product and I have used it extensively on
the 2200. So I was surprise to see this on the R2400. More
experimentation are needed.
