This is the outfit I've used.  Glycerol, glycerin, and glycerine are 
all the same as far as I can tell.  I'm sure there are many outfits 
that sell it.  By the way, don't try to pull that stuff through a 
syringe needle.  It's too thick.  I use a syringe with a bottom fill 
adapter on it for handling glycerol.

By the way, I fired up my 7500 with Eboni-6 in it after more that a 
month of idlenes.  The nozzle check was perfect.  No other inkset 
I've used has been able to deliver this in that machine.

I've been using the Epson driver with "Create ICC-RGB" ICCs in the 
print preview.  The embedded curves are the same for all papers 
(matte only).  That is, this inkset seems to be consistent enough 
that the same curve produces a ramp that is well within linearization 
range.  Linearization is still needed.  (Although, surprisingly, a 
list member with C6 in a 2400 used one of my 2200 C6 ICCs with the 
2400 and it produced a good print.)  The curves I've used are in my 
various C6 or Eboni-6 download zip files.
