Steve,

Eboni makes a mess on glossy papers. The blacks (literally) look like
soot, and they rub off easily at the slightest touch, when you stack
prints, etc.

You need to switch to photo black on glossy paper.

Or take Ed's advice and use Paul's new UT-3D inkset. Paul says it uses
the diluted (light black) glossy inks to make full strength black
(sounds silly, but it works). UT-3D can't do sepia, so if that's
important to you, stick with UT-7 and swap the PK and MK carts as
necessary to accommodated different papers.
