The same thing happens for me using a 1280 and UT2. (WXP PRo, PS or 
QTR) The color cart is 'out of ink' in PS long before the Eboni.  In 
addition, there was enough ink left in the 'out of ink' cart to leak 
the darkest color cart ink into the plastic bag i stored it in, so 
the Epson monitor is reading the 'most empty' reservoir as usual.

For my initial use it might have been as high as 1.5-2 color carts to 
one Eboni.  I don't use 'Carbon' much, preferring UT2-EEM neutral and 
Matte Paper.  It might differ if you use a different ink limit.  I 
have now found that if i want my screen images (Gray Lab workspace)to 
match the QTR 'EEM-neutral' prints i need to use -40 Ink Limit, which 
i expect will change my relative ink use.
