Re: [QuadtoneRIP] Newbee Questing regarding Eboni/Carbon 6 ink?

Eboni-6 is sold by MIS at http://www.inksupply.com/eb6.cfm.  I have a PDF
regarding it at http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/Eboni-6.pdf.

Carbon-6 is the user-mixed version of Eboni-6.  See
http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/Ink-Mixing.pdf

They are both based in the MIS Eboni MK black carbon ink.  It sounds like
what you really want is just MIS Eboni MK, which is the MK ink used in all
the MIS pigment inksets.

No, you order the MIS Eboni from MIS Associates.

The full strength MIS Eboni is available from MIS in carts or bulk.  One
issue may be whether the chips on the MIS carts is compatible with the chips
on the OEM Epson color carts.  I don't know the answer to that.

The Eboni-6 dilution base is not compatible with Epson UltraChrome inks.
 Eboni MK does not appear to have that problem.

The sponges were mostly a problem with the Eboni-6 dilution base.  The full
strength Eboni MK does not have that problem.

Check on chip compatibility.  Ask MIS if no one here answers.
