RE: [Digital BW] Eboni Black in 7600

Eric,

>Does MIS Eboni Black in an Epson 7600 allow printing on both glossy and
>matte paper without swapping out inks.

No.  Eboni is very much like Epson UC Matte black, except not as warm.  It
is matte-paper compatible only.  It will rub off of glossy paper unless
sprayed with a fixative.  

It is the Ultra Tone 2 (for 1280) and UT7 (for 2200 and probably 7600) that
allow printing on glossy paper with the Eboni installed.  However, it is the
use of the 2 dark gray inks that make the good glossy black, not the Eboni.
The Eboni black is cut out of the mix when glossy paper is used.
