Digital BW, The Print

Use Enhanced Black ink from media street as your black ink.

Do a print head alignment, and a few nozzle cleans and see if you can
see every single line in a nozzle check. Sounds like a printer problem.
I never get posterization in the dark tones. And check your images under
extreme magnification to see if there are any artifacts there, possibly
from your scanner.
