I talked to MIS about the difference between the three. They said that for "Eboni," there is no difference. (Except perhaps in the part numbers and maybe the labeling.) But you might wanna stock up on those $9 UC-TO348-K carts, because those are part of an older "MIS Ultrachrome" set that has since been replaced by the $11-apiece "MIS Pro" set. Again, no difference in the Eboni ink, but there is a difference in price while it lasts! I ordered today.
