Yes, until its sprayed, Eboni rubs off the FB papers.

However, when sprayed with Print Shield, Ilford Gold with the 1800 3-
MK setup makes a very interesting, 100% carbon, neutral tone, glossy 
(satin) print with a dmax of 2.2+.

To see the tonal distribution, which is the most even yet, see

For the QTR profiles to print on this paper go to

The profiles assume Premier Art Print Shield will be applied.  I've 
found 8 light coats does it.
