It might help somefolks looking for b&w help with the 2200. Eric - My son in law uses the 2200 extensively and makes a lot of monochromatic prints on that unit tells me the trick is to do the following: use the premium Epson photo matt paper replace standard black ink cartridge with the photo matt black ink cartridge set the unit to print in black and white only and not to use any colors whatsoever. Rob claims that if you follow this procedure you get a fairly decent print without any color cast to it. If you attempt to use the Epson Color management tools and have tried to produce a black and white print, it does so by mixing various colors inks to greet a black dot. but the nature of the pigment in the inks and the reflective quality of most of the other papers produced by Epson cause it to give a slightly varying color casts depending on the type of lighting you view it under. He says that holds true even on the samples produced by Epson to show how their results. I've said the copy of this e-mail to the edges you pointed out in your note.
