All of the inkjet carbon is ground very small so that it'll stay in suspension reasonably well.  I've never found specific information on Eboni.  However, I'm told it's slightly larger than the usual inkjet carbon, and that is why it's also less warm and settles faster.

I'm told it is warm, like all the other carbon.  I'd guess Cabot makes very good pigments.  In fact, some have speculated the MIS Pk is a Cabot material, but the wholesale suppliers don't disclose their sources.  I've been told by that supplier Eboni is not a Cabot product.

Good luck.  I think you'll find it takes special equipment and serious chemistry background to get an appropriate dispersion coating on the particles.  That is where a significant amount of the competition seems to be.
