I've been using the JetStar "Premium" (my inkjet printer uses both pigment and
dye type black ink, and I'm not sure what rules it uses to decide which
cartridge to use) and have had similar results -- in a word, perfect.
It's expensive, but it seems worth it for the quality.

Make sure everything on this page is UNchecked.
Then check "Black" and "Solid" in EAGLE's print dialog to get a solid black print.

I've got some LaserStar kicking around, though I haven't tried it yet. Though
based on what I've read, I shouldn't have bothered buying it in the first
place... :-/
