Something you might want to consider, especially since the R2000 is an 8-ink printer, is using a K5 set and put in LcLmY inks. You could swap out MK and PK and use a protective spray in place of a gloss optimizer—UV protection and anti-bronzing in one shot... That way you'll get far more toning options and all the benefit of quad(+) printing than using a single blue toner—everything from super warm sepia from mixing various ratios of Lm and Y to super cold with mixing Lc and Lm. I just set up a 3880 using Piezography WN shades 1,2,4,5,6 plus the Epson LcLmY. I've only profiled a few Canson papers, but I am pretty excited with a few of the test prints I made over the past few days. Once I get the kinks worked out on the small printer I am going to take it up to K6+LcLmY on the a 9900 to provide more options for printing commercially.
If you are dead set on Eboni inks, you could probably use those instead—they are just not the inks I prefer.

There is a trade off between flexibility and simplicity. After exploring the full range, I found that the single blended toner struck the balance I was looking for. I, also, found very few B&W photographers had the patience to deal with more. Profiling becomes tedious as the variables multiply.
There is a lot to be said for simplicity.
