Paul,

experiment with this.

To check the "bad" effect on Color Prints with the BK (from lyson not 
MIS) 
I did an icc profile for my "semi-gloss" moab KOKOPELLI paper and the 
BK ink.
to be sure to print with the BK instead of PK, I printed my "Test IT8 
print" with the R1800 driver setting for Matt Archival

I print with Phptoshop CS on this semi matt paper and OFF COURSE got
a lot of Non "semi-glossy" places due to the BK ink...
Easily corrected with a spray and the result is quite correct but not 
as perfect compare to a print with PK instead of BK (both icc 
profiles for the duo -lyson & moab- are mine done with MonacoEZcolor)

So, my question is:
with your 3 blacks Ebony inks is that possible to use as "mid 
black" (dark grey) the PK ink ?
meaning 
   BK -Ebony Black- 
   + PK 
   + LLBK (ebony) in the Glop position

Does that won't fit with your project ?
if the B&W prints result is quite closed to your 3 black Ebony's inks 
using QTR, is that a solution for keeping color prints on Glossy/semi-
glossy papers with the Epson driver?

In fact the question is: 
Does the PK is compatible wth EBONY's Blacks-normal and/or diluted-?

Sorry for these "new bee" questions?
