No, I don't think it does.

LK is about 30% PK.  If you want to use a dilute Eboni, try 18% Eboni.  The density graphs are not totally parallel for Eboni 18% and LK.  So, QTR profiles that are based on LK may need re-linearizing (at least) if 18% Eboni is used instead of LK.

The dilute Eboni will not, of course, be glossy compatible, and it will be slightly more neutral than LK.
