It's very simple. You basically follow the same procedure as when
changing between Matte Black and Photo Black and it works. You might
want to to an extra cleaning cycle to completely clean out the old
black. No need to flush the printer.

But if you're going to change cartridges anyway, why not try the full
Ultratone inkset? MIS released their cartridges today:

I see they've set up the inkset with Photo Black and Eboni black in the
Black and Light Black positions respectively, and that the inkset can
only work through OPM or QTR. 

However, I've made some new and improved curves available which work
with the standard Epson driver, but then you'll need Eboni black in the
black position and MIS Archival 7600 light black in the light black
position. Those two cartridges can be bought on this page:

The only thing I'm uncertain about it the quality of MIS' cartridges,
I've been using refilled Epson cartridges myself.
