I'm not sure what will work out the best.  I'd probably try starting a
single cool PK in the first one to come on, with the neutral PKs in the
other 2 of a 3-PK workflow, and see if that allowed me enough cool ink to
pull the warmth hump to wherever I liked it.  With the Eboni-6 inks on the
PA Smooth BW paper, I'm liking a 3 Lab B rise.  On the natural papers , this
starts to get warmer than I like.  So, it's subjective.   But I'd basically
be doing a 3-PK(n) workflow, adjusting the curves as needed.
