We usually refer to "BO" (Black only) printing as using only the black (K)
position ink, and no midtone inks.

From the context of your question, however, it may be that you intend to use
midtone gray inks.  If so, the UT-R2 inks may be of interest.  For those,
there are 2 densities and 2 tones of midtone inks.  The C & M inks are the
same density.  Likewise, the LC, LM, and Y inks are all the same, but
lighter than the C & M.  There are neutral and warm inks in these 2
densities.  So, for a complete set of the UT-R2 midtones, you'd need 4
bottles of ink.

Yes.  Eboni is the same for all the inksets.  It is, of course, just for
matte paper.

Hope this helps.
