Digital BW, The Print

Norm: the Epson 1280 black is a dye ink which will fade over time.
Eboni is pigment, which is archival. The Epson black seems to be a bit
on the too warm side. Epson prefilled carts are very expensive and you
get about 14cc of ink, Eboni comes in 4oz bottles for $18. 

But, if you like the Epson K, there's no reason in the world for you
to not use it. 

If you want to try Eboni, a prefilled cart is around $22 from MIS
