Bob,

It has been my experience that the FS-N black is cooler than the UT
black (aka Eboni) right out of the printer. Unfortunately the FS-N
black warms considerably (and fades too). I have FS-N prints even
under glass that warmed a lot in the last year or so (fortunately I
like the warmth that has occurred for portrait shots). So, while the
FS will give you a more neutral output it will not stay that way,
while the Eboni will be warmer (I do not find it overly warm when
viewed alone) it's pretty much, straight out of the printer, as it
will stay.
