> Anyone getting these numbers with Eboni PK on Premium Luster?

I experimented with the UT-FSN inks on Premium Luster in my old 2000P, with
both the stock Epson black and with Eboni. Strangely, I got better blacks,
about 2.45, by not using the black at all, and using both chambers of the
dark gray. The black inks (both kinds) were pretty black, but they seemed to
have a gloss differential compared to the grays. It took a lot of dark gray,
though.
