1.  Yep.  I will not switch back to Eboni.  Unless I am dedicating 
the whole printer to a third party inkset (such as UT7 or similar) I 
do not want to jeopordise my warranty.  Besides, I acutally prefer 
the warmer tones of the Epson black.
2. No very little.  turn off the super fx though and you can see 
some (I think from the notes that the super fx setting is a full 
crossover weave dither).
3. 3.5pl.  Not actually that small, but a world better than my 
1290s. In all but the widest expanses of off-white sky or clothing 
you cannot see the dots.  Trying to reproduce <5% will always be 
tough with a 100% ink though...
