On page 3 of the basic Eboni-6 PDF --
http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/Eboni-6.pdf -- I note the equivalences.

Translating that page, I'd use the following:

Eb6Y (2% Eboni) is about equal to 3% PK -- an LLLK.

EB6LM (6% Eboni) is about equal to standard LLK or 9% PK.

EB6LC (9% Eboni) is about equal to the MIS UT7-LC noted earlier or 15% PK.

EB6M & LK (18% Eboni) is about equal to 30% PK.

EB6C (30% Eboni) is about equal to MIS UT7-C or 50% PK.

K = Eboni (The standard MIS Associates carbon matte black ink)

So, you can mix them or buy all but the LLLK, which would be 1 part LLK to
2 parts amber base.

PK is at http://www.inksupply.com/product-details.cfm?pn=K4-PT-PK

The amber base is here:
http://www.inksupply.com/product-details.cfm?pn=ESC-BASEPT-UC

If you want the pre-mixed, just search the inksupply.com web site for K4
LLK and LK, and UT7 C and LC.
