I use Eboni and QTR with the 2200. FWIW Eboni hasn't had a noticeable effect 
on the QTR curves with that printer. The only difference I see with Eboni is 
a slightly cooler tone than the Epson MK. I've seen measurements by others 
showing about a .12 gain in density with Eboni, i.e. less than half a stop 
increase, which I don't think is enough to be noticeable except maybe in a 
side by side comparison.  I also don't see any significant effect on color 
though I don't do much color so perhaps I'm not as demanding with it as 
someone else might be.

Subject: [Digital BW] Eboni black vs UC Matt Black on 4000 w/ QTR


Apologies for asking a that has already been answered, but the searching 
didn't turn up an
answer to my question.

I use QTR with UC inks in an Epson 4000 for my prints.  Want to try Eboni in 
the black
position keeping the other UC inks.  How significantly does this affect the 
results if one
continues to use the standard QTR profiles as well as it's affect on color 
prints?

Guidance appreciated.

Jim
