I suppose I did! Perhaps I'm not being critical enough but I really 
cannot see a big difference. I have asked several friends ("fresh 
pairs of eyes") and they cannot either. There is a subtle 
difference in image tone between BO prints made with the Epson OEM 
ink and the MIS Eboni ink, with the MIS ink being more neutral. To 
my eyes the MIS EZ full-ink print, while very nice, is almost 
indistinguishable from an MIS Eboni BO print.
