The only UT14 ink that would be useful to make Eboni-6 is the UT14 Black
(K). It is Eboni MK.

Eboni-6 does not use the amber base (aka "glop") for dilution that the UT14
dilute inks and other MIS glossy inksets use.  The amber base makes the
dilute Eboni considerably warmer; it rather defeats the purpose of the
inkset.  I would also expect more clogging from it.  I don't recommend you
try.

MIS sells the the generic base I have used at
http://www.inksupply.com/roarkslab.cfm .  It's makes the user-mixed Eb6
even more cost effective than the Eboni-6 inkset from MIS already is.

See http://www.inksupply.com/eb6.cfm for the pre-mixed Eb6 bulk and
http://www.inksupply.com/product-details.cfm?pn=EB6-1400-SET for the 1400
pre-loaded carts.

For syringes and the like see
http://www.inksupply.com/accessory.cfm?action=find&the_cat=1 as well as the
MIS accessory category.
