The 2200 benefited a bit from the dual Eboni, but I felt is was not enough
to warrant making the inkset-2200 combination unable to use the sliders and
Epson driver to print matte paper.  The 2200 by itself gets a good dmax.
The 7600, 9600, and 4000 are the ones that are weak.

Yes, they have the same single Eboni.

The UT7 has one less gray.  That is why I'm adding the FS-Y to the set.

No, not only is it going the wrong direction tone-wise, but it's also the
weakest in terms of fading.

An un-used jet can clog.  If you don't use sepia, I recommend using FS-Y, or
some other ink in that spot and using it.
