Digital BW, The Print

You can do what I am thinking about doing which is to purchase a CFS for the
2100/2200 - see below:

http://www.inksupply.com/index.cfm?source=html/cfs_2200_new.html

(product code CFS-2200-UC)

BUT with Eboni ink in the black slot instead of MIS' Universal Black.  BUT
there are a couple of other BUTs:

1.  BO on Resin Coated papers with Eboni require spraying else they will
smear

2.  I am not sure whether colour prints with Eboni as the black on RC papers
will hold after spraying.  I suspect they will but have not had this
confirmed.  (Eboni was intended for matt papers but people have found that
Eboni works well on RC papers if then sprayed with something like
Printshield.)

Else you can use Epson UCs and simply swap the Eboni cartridge for the UC PK
when you want to do BO.  The permutations are broad.  Remember though that
if you change an ink and are using a colour managed workflow (eg you print
colour with the Epson UCs but with Eboni in the black slot) then you will
need to profile the ink/media combinations you use.
