Maybe, but it would not have the quality of the R800/1800 due to the dot
size difference.  The 260 is what I'll look at next.  I'm hopeful that the
260 will take this approach to the sub-$100 printers.

It becomes warm with dilution.

The lack of color in Eboni is, in part, a function of high concentration.
The ideal would be little black holes with no transparency at all.  It seems
to be at the edges where there is some transparency that we're getting the
warmth from.
