I use Eboni on OHP (as well as Arista OH film) and find it works well.
The surface of the negative is, however, slightly fragile - if you
touch it with fingers you can smudge it, especially shortly after you
print it. I put a thin sheet of transparent material between the
negative and the coated paper when exposing and this prevents any
transfer, especially where the paper is still slightly damp. 

I don't know if other inks have the same fragility, but I'd expect so.
Some of that also depends on the ink load, which of course  you can
adjust in QTR.
