It seems that rather than an Eboni 6 inkset you have one of the MIS UT
inksets.  Have you checked the cartridge/bottle codes against those on the
MIS website?  That would help you identify the inkset and then find the
right set of curves to make it work. You are right about the use of the inks
for waem and cool prints.

  Just thinking about the whole thing now, perhaps the Eboni ink is spilt in
two different systems? One for Warm printing such as the browns in the inks
and one for Cool prints the Cyan ink.
  If that is the case then it would make a whole LOT MORE SENSE to me, and
that what I have here is not what I need. I should go down the track of
finding all 6 inks of blackness of different dilutions! :)
  Or I could be wrong about this all and that the Eboni inks I do have ARE
NOT Eboni inks and something totally different! :|
