It is easy to turn off the Glop.  But Eboni will not stick on glossy paper.

I just tried the 1800 with a color snapshot on Crane Silver Rag.  It looks
good, but I can smudge the black by rubbing a finger across it.

I also have the 260 loaded with OEM color and Eboni.  They seem to print
nicely together, but the 260 OEM color on Ultra Premium Presentation Matte
is not what I'd call good color.  The MIS color in the 1800 with an EEM
profile looks significantly better.  (The supplier claims MIS K4 pigments
are compatible with the 260, but I have not tested a set yet.)
