As an additional piece of information, I've profiled this paper for an Epson 2200 using Photo Black at the following settings:
Paper: Semigloss 1440, High Speed turned off
Color Controls: Gamma 2.2, Brightness, +1, Contrast -1, all others at 0
Ink Levels: +20 (maxed out)
This gives me a very well-linearized output that has a gamut very nearly approaching No Color Adjustment output (but whose linearity is not good at all).
