See http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/3MK-Glossy.pdf

If glop or a spray and a PK are used, matte-only ink can be controlled for the midtones.  Concentrated Eboni MK can make the most neutral 100% carbon print if warm carbon PK is used for the 100% black end of the curve.  Dilute Eboni/Carbon-6 midtones make a very warm print.

I, personally, don't think making glossy prints with Eboni-based inks is worth the effort, but it is a route to very warm, near sepia tones with the dilute Eboni.
