Thank you.  That clarifies quite a bit.

These types of inks print reasonably well with just the Epson driver, and they are very simple and easy to maintain.  The 13.5% was simply a 1:1 mix of Eboni-6 LK (18%) and LC (9%).  Because MIS did not seem interested in marketing the mix, I made it simple to just pour 2 bottles together.  My just-graduated daughter got through 4 years with such a setup with me must topping off the CIS in the summers.  The mix, like all Eboni diluting inks, should be agitated occasionally if it's in a CIS as opposed to in carts that are agitated all the time while printing.
