Chatzebussi,

I gather that's the idea. Supposed to equal the longevity of the PiezoTone
Museum Black with the same density as the MIS-FS black. I just got my first
bottle of UltraTone Eboni today and it came with a disclaimer that fade
testing is still in progress and there is no guarantee. Hmmm. I thought they
were a bit farther along but I guess I will give it a try. According to
their website it has out performed the old black which was very good. I'm
using it with the  Selenium PiezoTone gray inks which I really like for
their hue.
