Digital BW, The Print

Thanks for the info. Can I still use Eboni Matte Black with the Kirkland paper? I'm rather 
pleased that there is little bronzing with the Epson Glossy Photo Paper with Eboni matte as 
it allows me to switch between matte and glossy paper without worrying about switching 
cartridges. 

If I swapped in the MIS Photo Black rather than Eboni then what advantages does this have 
on Glossy Paper? Is it less bronzing and/or higher dmax? If the dmax is the same and 
bronzing isnt much of an issue then would I not be better sticking with Eboni matte? (I'll 
not be using refills/CFS for a while - its taken me years to find a solution that works this 
well so I'm reluctant to try anything different just yet!)

Many Thanks - I'm now getting a little confused!

Dave.
