Digital BW, The Print

Our Eboni ink is available under many part numbers as it is the Matte Black for most of our Epson ink sets.  MISPRO-PT-K, K4-PT-K, UT-HEXPT-K, UT-QUADPT-K, EB6-PT-K, UT14-PT-K, UT3D-PT-K, UT7-PT-K, UTBO-PT-K, and EB4-PT-K are all the same ink (I only provided the pint quantities, but they are all available in 4oz, Pint or Gallon)

As for the bases; ESCR1900-PT-OPT,  ESCR800-PT-OPT, and ESC-BASEPT-UC are the same and can only be used with our pigment UltraTone B&W or UltraChrome Compatible color inks.  This base cannot be used with Eboni or and DyeBased inks.

We are currently finishing our new Advanced B&W section to our site which will offer the individual components to Paul's bases, as well as 3 of our common bases, and the most common ink's that Paul recommends for mixing such as Eboni.

It does not work well as a dilution base for Eboni.  Most in the past bought the MIS R800 gloss optimizer for diluting the UT inks, as the base was not sold as such.
