Digital BW, The Print

From:  Paul Roark

"If you want a very flexible printer, I'd also have Epson Y, LC, and LM
installed. You will then be able to go warmer or make a neutral print if
you like. I see below that you want M and not LC in there. I can't say
how warm the LM will let you go, but I'd guess it'll be enough. These are
high gamut colors, and even a very warm B&W is rather low gamut. It also
just might be the case that you'd want to make a neutral print some day for
some reason. If you have the LC in there, you can. But, I can't say for
sure what is going to be best for you."

Thanks, but I want to keep it simple to start. (Though I do like the idea of
putting PK in the PK slot, just in case.)
I want to copy what you did here:

Y = Eb6-Y (2% Eboni)

LM = Eb6-LM (6% Eboni)

LLK = Eb6-LC (9% Eboni)

M = Eb6-M (18% Eboni)

LK = Eb6-C (30% Eboni)

K = Eboni MK 

But with PK dilutions instead of MK dilutions (except in the K slot of
course). (Also, I can't use the C and LC slots anyway. All the machinations
of the last couple of years resulted in those two slots never having a clean
nozzle check now.)

What percent solutions would you suggest for a starting point to get similar
results with PK as you got above with MK?
