I think Eboni on the pearl surface will look dusty -- flat.  I think peal
needs Photo Black, unless I'm thinking of the wrong paper.  Metamerism is
not a problem with Eboni.

Some spray matte black inks on glossy surfaces.  Actaully, in one experiment
I used Glop in the 1800 to nail down the Eboni.  It worked for the lighter
densities, but the high loads from about 85% on continued to be easy to
smear.

(The 260 is next -- no dual capabilities there, just simple, cheap Eboni for
now.)
