Digital BW, The Print

Can someone tell me if when using matte paper will be black be the same
density on UT14 as it is on Eboni-6? I am currently using UT14 with my 1400
and was thinking of trying Eboni-6 if the black would be of a higher
density.

Thanks,

Gary W.

Are you sure you have Eboni-6? It's a monotone carbon inkset with no 
cool inks. See http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/Eboni-6.pdf

The other 1400 inkset I've been involved with that MIS sells is 
UT14. See http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/UT14.pdf 

While UT14 does, indeed, have quite warm carbon inks, as well as a 
cool ink channel, the warm ones are in the M channel.

So, I'm not really sure what you have in that printer.
