Digital BW, The Print

Thanks,

The photoblack was one area of confusion for me since I only print with matte paper.  
So, my thought was that I would just buy two eboni blacks and no photoblack.  Or, 
does the Ultratone photoblack have a different purpose than the normal difference 
between Pk/Mk?

I also read someone say that the Epson 2200 Mk was actually better than the Eboni.  
Any thoughts on that?

Couldn't you  just use the Epson Light Black or is that a different ink all together?

Is clogging an issue?  I've only used my UC inks to date with no clogging.  I don't print 
that often (in spurts, but it can be a few weeks between printings) so I'm not sure 
what to expect.

Thanks again,
Jeff
