Digital BW, The Print

The low dmax you are seeing suggests that you might be using a profile 
that specifies PK ink for black, instead of MK.  Eboni is in the LK ink 
slot in the MIS UT inkset and MIS PK is in the K ink slot.  If you can 
post the contents of the curve descriptor file you are using we might 
be able to help.  You should be getting a dmax on HPR with Eboni in the 
1.6+ range.  Also, try using the BOOST function to increase dmax (eg. 
BOOST_LK=95).
