They cannot be easily mixed from UT inks.  I've had to go to custom
dilutions that require the MIS UT/7600 clear base.  Have you been able to
get that "clear" (actually tea colored -- to be discrete) base from MIS?

Alex and I are both doing experiments to see if there is any base that will
dilute Eboni reliably.  It appears to precipitate in reaction to unknown
factors when diluted.

The existing clear base is not RC compatible -- of course, neither is Eboni.
However, getting an appropriate base for these new inksets is tricky.  It's
one key to MIS's UT and UC clone inksets, and I'm not sure they are going to
release it publicly.
