I'm using BO with R265 with the original black with very good results,
especially on glossy and semiglossy Epson papers. I have a curve for
Enhance Heavyweight paper as well, but it doesn't work too well, the
ink is a bit too metameric on this paper.

I wrote an article in italian on this topic:

I did myself the curves:

Hope this helps.
