Why not use the Gen enhanced black, which is part of an inkset that gets 100
year rating? Actually I hear (was it on this list?) that ol' Wilhelm doesn't
include the darkest of black in his fade tests...

Anyway, longevity would be the first drawback that comes to my mind, and
perhaps throwing off your profiles, and increasing metamerism. Just fears
though, nothing to back them up....
