Actually, I consider them in two different families of Epson printers. The R1800 - 2000 do not have the LM and LC and add two additional colors, as well as a gloss optimizer. As such, the Epson drivers are quite different. The R1800 - 2000 also have 1.5 PL minimum drop sizes as opposed to the 3 pl for the 2880. This smaller drop size is similar to the 1430 and allows denser inks to be used in the highlights without showing dots.
While I do not have any of this family of printers any more, I had and set up an R1800 with Eboni-6 among other inksets. The Eboni-6 model is what I based my recommendation on regarding the glossy carbon variable tone inkset, thought the Eboni-6 setup on the 1800 was not a variable tone.

The R1900 is physically virtually identical to the R2880, other than it uses a different OEM inkset, doesn't have a front sheet feed option, and has the silver and black trim in a different arrangement. So whatever works on the R2880 should work in the R1900. The only catch is working out the ink placement correspondence, given the different OEM inksets. The R2000 is a minor upgrade of the R1900, and so the same comments apply. (I have all three printers.)
