Hi Scott,

It has larger dots than the R1800, however.  So, it would have graininess
close to the 2200 I've been experimenting with to see how large display
prints would look.  My conclusion there is that with the right paper, large
display prints will probably be fine, but for smaller prints the graininess
is probably more than most would like to see.

Dilute Eboni is no longer neutral.  It gets warm just like the other dilute
carbon inks.
