Paul,
  >Minimizing the artifacts....dilute inks...and large dots.
  Does that means that the Ebony is much more difficult to set with QTR than BK and LK?
   
  >premier art smooth...
  is available but EPSON UltraSmooth got another name on European market with same (of course) references SO41896 -13*19 it is called here "photo art Fin ultra lisse..."
   
  >of course every one can buy & test ebony...
  paul, we believe in you !!! 
  you are the one able to set and dilute as it should the several blacks so... I (we?) are waiting after your experiences... 
  BUT:
  if I could help you in any ways like:
    
   testing on some papers (moab, Ilford...) but I don't have the correct inks ;-(  
   doing some another stuff ?   
   or anything else in my possibilities...
  I'll do it with pleasue...
  don't hesitate

Jean Claude,

>when do you feel that this new ebony set will be available to buy?

I don't know. I'm still experimenting with it. Minimizing the artifacts
with 1.5 pl dots and only high load inks is harder than with very dilute
inks and large dots. I haven't had the time to see how different papers
look either. So far my usual un-brightened Premier Art Smooth 270 seems
good, but I'm not sure if it's even available where you are. Do they sell
Epson UltraSmooth there?

Of course, anyone with an R800 or 1800 can buy Eboni and stick it in several
positions and experiment with this.
