Aside from Paul, of course, has anyone else tried this? I've got a second 1280 that I'm going to use exclusively for b&w. I'm going to be trying the UT2 inks but am also thinking about making my own. I very rarely tone b&w prints and when I do, I get very good results using my colour printer so am looking at a set of just black/grey inks. And I typically do duo or tri toning rather than just overall sepia/warm or cyan/cool so using a colour printer works well for that. In addition to the Eboni Black, I'm considering 10%, 25%, 40%, 55% and 70% black formulations. The 70% and 55% would go in the C and M slots. The 40% would go in the Y slot and the 25% and 10% would go in the LC and LM slots. Creating my own curves isn't a problem and I have a "Zone" chart that I created to use for testing and creating the curves. Or I can use the one off the inksupply.com site. Thoughts? Recommendations? Thanks
