Eboni-6 is a 100% carbon, matte paper only monotone inkset.  UT14 is a variable-tone, gloss and matte compatible inkset that does have color inks in it.

The 100% carbon will be much more stable in the long run, but if you're not selling into a fine art market, it may never make any difference.  Monotone inksets are the easiest to control and profile.  Matte papers don't have all the artifacts of glossy papers.  Inksets for matte papers only have little binder in them, and it's the binders that seem to be a huge factor in clogging.

It's really a question of individual preferences.  I like the 100% carbon approach and don't like glossy papers.  But, I understand most are probably going to like to use those, so I made the UT14 inkset to keep some competition in the market.
