Yes, it seems they are talking for you :-O

Interesting, I've tried your ut3d and with glossy paper it has really
less bonzing of what I aspected ( I had tried other solutions for
glossy papers and yes, bronzing was terrible). Is it caused by glop 
used to diluite?

Yes, banding is really visible, is the base you suggest for ebony
available at inksupply shop?

I'm going to try something before on epson 2400, but I' m looking for
something that can work also on my epson 7600, so I think I'll use one
channel for ebony five for shades of gray and one toner (may be on
2400 I try the same but with LC and LM to check differences)
