"I sure hope it isn't a
function of the Eboni Black simply being better ink."

I don't know about "better" but as I recall several people here have posted 
dMax measurements of Eboni compared to Epson MK and Eboni did in fact have a 
greater dMax though I don't remember the difference being dramatic.

Subject: [Digital BW] Re: Somewhat embarrassing 220/2400 BO confession


OK.  I need some help here. I'm still fiddling around with my 2400
trying to make a print that matches the 220 BO output. (How
bizarre)Right now, I'm getting closer. The main difference is that the
220 BO prints have deeper blacks.
 I'm not sure what to adjust in the 2400 ADV. B&W driver to deepen the
blacks. I'd appreciate some help with this.....I sure hope it isn't a
function of the Eboni Black simply being better ink!
 Thanks
 Howard
