Digital BW, The Print

Sorry, I don't have the answer to your question. You are a step ahead
of me.  I've been using the Epson blacks and have been quite
disappointed with their distinct lack of blackness (more like warm
brown).  Even in the BO mode.  So I was just about to send off for an
MIS Eboni cart when I came across your post.  Sounds like you find the
Eboni blacker, but still lacking punch in some way.  Printed anything
more with it since?  I'd like to know your conclusion after you've
printed several different things with it, ie., whether it's worth
trying the Eboni or one is better off sticking to the Epson blacks. 
Thanks.
