There is a terminology issue here. If you read the manual you will see that
Epson means luminosity not colour tonality.

>>And another thing. I have never tried the create icc profile of the
QTR mainly for the lack of a densitometer. So I mostly use it with the
ready curves in conjunction with Qimage and the print to file feature.
But I thought that the ABW mode is not supposed to be used together
with an Icc profile since the first overwrites the second.
Is it not so, or how else you meant to use the two?

ABW and colour are just two different ways of using the Epson driver.
Profiles can be used for both in the same way. Its just that Epson doesn't
provide them tuned for ABW mode.
