Have you custom-profiled your 2200? I find the 9600 to be *very* 
neutral, after proper profiling. There might still be a tad of 
metamerism left, but it's almost unnoticeable. In my eyes, you 
have all the equipment you need now to produce quality B/W 
prints; you just have to settle on one or two papers, profile them 
well, and then be slow and methodical in your workflow.

We'll see in the future what people report about ImagePrint. I 
trust Andrew's opinion, but there's also part of me that says the 
endless money pit of "needing more hardware" is over. The 
Ultrachromes in your 2200 are very fine inks.

Just one man's opinion. Could be wrong.
