Has anyone tried using BO with the Epson 4000, and specifically using 
Eboni Black?  And, I presume you would purchase Eboni with a Matte 
chip for this 8 channel printer? 

Also, I plan on getting about a half a dozen paper and printer 
profiles made and I presume I better have the Eboni ink loaded even 
though their is very slight differences in tone...?  And, I should 
add if the friggin' thing everrrrrr gets here! 

I'm surpised more folks just don't get their printers & papers 
profiled because it virtually removes all color casts in B&W if done 
properly ...  BO works really well too, and I want to have both 
options.
Thanks for the help.

My blacks with the 4000 using UC as shipped and all inks, not black only, are 
stunning.  Better than my silver prints, which use a VERY slighty warm paper (it doesn't 
look warm until you put something cold beside it).

So why mess with another ink?  

and as you point out, the right profile is important, so certainly you would have the right 
ink in right

:~)

I am expecting not to need a custom profile based on 4000 demo prints that I have seen, 
but it will take another day or two to be sure.
