No way.

UT7 is a glossy-compatible, variable-tone inkset that uses blended 
carbon-color pigments for most of its midtone positions.  Only the 
UT7 C, LC and K (Eboni) positions are 100% carbon pigments, and the C 
and LC are not Eboni dilutions.  They are much warmer than the Eboni-
6 midtone inks.  The Eboni (K) is the same -- nothing more.

Do clean out those non-Eboni ink lines.
