The 3D inks have one channel carbon and the others are blends of carbon and color pigments.

The most neutral 100% carbon inkset you'll find is the Eboni-6 (or Carbon-6) approach.  (Black only, un-diluted Eboni would be more neutral but too rough.)  So, if you want 100% carbon and relatively neutral (on some papers like Epson Hot Press or Premier Smooth BW), the dilute Eboni inksets are all that is available.  All the others that are neutral are blends.
