Steve, All the other inks with YOUR set up, of a non Epson MK, along with
the other two K3 blacks scratch off. OK, but I got no scratch off at all
with ALL 3 of the K3 blacks with the MK ink. Set of inks may or may not be
interchangeable with no ill affect to the WHOLE set. If you are not using MK
in the K3 ink set, one can no longer say that the K3 inks scratch off, SET
K3/Eboni MK did. 

 

Curious if you run a cleaning cart in between your Epson ink or if it has
been so long as to not be an issue. How many of those other that had
problems had run a cleaning cart any time close to testing this paper? I
don’t own stock or any other investment in Harmon, Ilford, etc. just
curious.

All the other Epson K3 inks scratch off. I don¹t know. The paper is too
lightweight for my liking and the blacks are weak versus HPR. I doubt I¹ll
be buying any more but I do look forward to the other stuff this company
supposedly has coming down the pipe...

Perhaps, I missed something here, but Eboni MK is being used by those with
problems, and Epson K3 inks, with MK are being used by those without
problems. Also the portfolio black is being used in the Piezo set
experiencing problems, and museum black in a set with out problems?

I would not look at the paper as having an issue with the possible exception
of an instruction that states ONLY Epson K3 MK ink should be used with this
paper. It also leads me to question what is in those other black inks that
are being used in the MK position. Is it an issue where the paper was
designed to receive that formulation best and the others, as marginal
players, secondly or not at all?
