HP PK is not as dark as Eboni on matte paper.  It makes a good dark, neutral grey with Eboni as the black for matte paper.  I use HP PK in a 1400 in black only mode for my glossy brochures.

When HP PK is diluted with the C6 base (http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/Ink-Mixing.pdf) the dilute inkset is very cheap.  It does bronze, however.  HP PK by itself is, of course, considerably more expensive than Eboni bulk.
