I'm currently investigating 4800 with MK vs Piezo iQuads Museum K. 
That's just for the sake of curiosity : my true interest is to 
investigate whether K3 PK is a viable glossy BW solution.

Dmax on EEM so far is higher with K3 : 1,73. 

Partitionning of K3 with QTR gives a strange curve, however I've not 
yet profiled the output nor printed an image. I have not yet either 
done the settings with HPR.

Maybe someone else can report K3 vs Eboni. 
QTR is a nice solution for BW at an unbeatable price.
