Jerry,

Yes, none of the pure pigment inks can come close to the Enhance (25% dye)
Generations black.

Yes, but price is significant.  Also, I get tired of the Eclipse emulsion
popping off.  Brushing helps, but I can't say I'm 100% successful at
eliminating the problem.  Then again, there is the question of whether
Eclipse is going to be around 6 months from now.
