Eboni is close to Museum black.  Portfolio black has some dye added to it,
which gives it a better dmax but less longevity.

The MIS UT-FS and UT-FSN inks use the PiezoBW ink densities.  The original
FS and FSN inks were designed for the Piezo driver (which I started with).
So, the MIS UT-FS and FSN are about the same as the PiezoTones.
