I'm not sure what inkset you mean by "mis-6."  Maybe "Eboni-6"?

MIS sells a few different B&W inksets that should work in the 280.  

What they would probably recommend is this one:
http://www.inksupply.com/r260_blackandwhite.cfm

MIS also sells the Eboni-6 inkset in bottles.  See 
http://www.inksupply.com/eb6.cfm   MIS might be reluctant to sell this to you unless they think you understand that it is warm by nature and the inks need to be agitated (mixed) more than most inksets.  I use this inkset because it is 100% carbon and more neutral than the standard 100% carbon solutions that are as smooth.  

You can print either of the above approaches with the Epson driver or QTR.  

You can also use QTR to use only the 100% Eboni matte black ink.  If you use QTR to print with only one ink (like K or Black position cartridge) there is a greater risk of banding than if more inks are used.  

You can also print with the 280 and use more than one position filled with 100% concentrated Eboni.  The 1800 3-MK process noted at 
http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/R1800.htm 
can be be run on a 280 also.  This makes printing very cheap in terms of the ink used.  You can even put water or a simple clear base in some of the 280 positions if you're not using them.  

These 100% Eboni solutions are not as smooth as the approaches that use dilute inks, but they are more neutral in tone than the dilute Eboni-6 approach.

These all work well.

This paper is smooth.  The papers with more texture are often called "water color" papers.  With smooth papers you don't feel or see much texture at all.  With the "water color" papers you can both see and feel a texture to them.

I hope this helps.
