I may get to that experiment today.  A very light dilute Eboni might not rub off significantly.  In the past, I've used MIS LK as the warm toner for HP PK.  Since the problem with HP PK is a usually in the shadows, the LK density was enough.  As a practical matter with the 7800, the only time I'd print a serious large glossy I'd also spray it with Print Shield.  The spray is needed to control bronzing as well as the Eb-6 rub off.  So, I do expect to have some tone control with glossy printing, but if warmer glossies were a target, I'd have gone with the MIS LK, LLK inks instead of dilute Eboni. (Note that if the C6 generic base is used to dilute MIS PK, it is not longer glossy.  Also, if MIS Glop is used to dilute HP PK, it has less bronzing.)
