Printing black only has the advantage of offering the same tone throughout... 
at least until paper white kicks in. But you already admitted it doesn't 
offer the quality you need. There is no simple equivalent to this using multiple 
inks, as the balance needs to change for each paper, both for paper tone, and 
for ink densities. So if Black Only won't do it for you, then a more complex 
solution is required.

seem to have some expertise or at least perspective on the subject...so, tell me, does 
anyone that you know make a color cartridge with just eboni ink in all the chambers. that 
seems to me to be the solution.L29

I believe what you are asking for is not actually black in all chambers, but 
proper dilutions of black in all chambers (as all blacks simply would not 
work). Proper dilutions would work, but will still have issues of varying degrees 
of warmth on differing papers, differing blending into different paper tones, 
different curves or profiles needed the density ranges of different papers, 
etc. In other words: all the things I mentioned in my previous post.
