I thought some might like to see what the glossy carbons can do on Arches watercolor paper. The bottom line is that for Arches, the glossy carbon is arguably doing a better job than Eboni-6. Go to http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/GCVT-Arches-Carbon.pdf to see a scan of a 100% carbon pigment print on Arches.
My "carbon on cotton" printing and paradigm is alive and well with this glossy inkset.
