I use Eboni in a 2200.  I don't know about instrument-measured Dmax
compared to MK, but Eboni is cooler in color.  They both have
excellent Dmax - to my eye they look equally intense, but the MK is
warmer.  Perhaps someone with a densitometer will pop in here...


>This is true ONLY for EEM?

I have found it also true with PhotoRag.

Yes, I have done it, just to see what happened, and it made a very
nice color print.  However, I do almost no color, so I'm not one to
judge how well the Eboni works in color prints compared to MK.

I don't know about that one, but I would guess "yes" because of MK's
warmer color.

I do Black Only printing with the Eboni and just leave the other carts
alone.  The 2200 does a fine job with that and the Eboni is gorgeous
stuff.
