Does anyone have experience with carbon inksets?

Here are some prints I made recently using Paul Roark's Eboni-6 in my aging 3880. These were printed using ABW mode in the Epson driver.

These are on Fotospeed Matt Baryta:

Gorgeous. The first one is really interesting - I’m sure the stones in the foreground are pale, but my brain wants them to be dark . . .

Agree, niche. Multiple = 2 manufacturers (Ricoh and Pentax are the same entity really). And two of the smallest manufacturers by units sold.

You could add in achromatic IQ4 from Phase One, still tiny number compared to regular cameras. There might few others as well, at least there are some monochrome only cameras which I've seen used on astrophotography (and could perhaps be adapted to regular photography). Still tiny market.

Walked on shores of Lake Saimaa today with Leica monochrome today, here's couple snapshots on that cheap epson matt paper.
