I just took delivery of a set from www.inkjetcarts.us and they appear to be the typical spongeless types.  I have not tested them.  I, too, am dusting off my 2200 to test Eboni-6 or C-6 variants for use in wide format K2 and K3 printers.

I'm going to start with the Eboni-6 dilutions -- 30, 18, 9, 6, and 2.  The Carbon-6 dilution ratios have not worked will in K3 printers using the Epson driver due to the M and C dilutions being too far off the printer driver's assumptions.  With QTR this is not an issue, but I think there are situations where the Epson driver is needed.  The problem is also not an issue for K2 printers, but I may move to a K3 24".

(Note that MIS does not sell the Eboni-6 base by itself, as far as I know.)

> An alternative would be using the sepia toner from the UT7 inkset.  

I dropped that mix from the inksets newer than UT7 because it's weak in terms of lightfastness and other issues.  It looks great, but consider it a color ink, and not composed of particularly tough ones at that.
