My push for a 100% carbon pigment printing workflow for my 7500, as well
as a project to make a "workable" carbon inkset for a watercolorist,
ended up with an inkset that is not workable with water and a brush
(despite not having a binder in the dilution base), but much more
neutral and versatile than I expected.  I currently think this approach
will work in all of the large dot Epsons (all but the 1.5 pl models that
don't need the dilute inks -- like the 1800 3-MK workflow).

See http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/Eboni-6.pdf
<http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/Eboni-6.pdf>  for more information
about the inkset.

The original Eboni-6 is still in beta, but I'm publishing the
information that I currently think is needed for a home brew B&W digital
darkroom to develop.  This feels analogous to what many of us did with
B&W film developers, etc.  I think there is a small niche of B&W workers
who will enjoy the controls at this level, not to mention the results
and economy.
