Digital BW, The Print

It's correct that Eboni doesn't work on glossy papers, but Paul's glossy UT7
curves cut out the black and essentially use C and M as the black inks,
which works really well. I get around 2.2 on Epson Premium Semigloss with
these curves.

You might be able to get an additional 0.1 or 0.2 dmax if you switch to a
dedicated PK ink and make some custom curves, otherwise there isn't much
advantage to changing carts. 

I also like to use a Gloss Optimizer in the yellow position. That way I get
less gloss differential in the highglights.
