Digital BW, The Print

For what it is worth, any time you are trying to get proper results 
with color ink, whether you are trying to produce a color print or a 
grayscale print, you must spend the money and time to avail yourself of 
decent tools (software & spectro), learn to use them properly, and 
build custom profiles for each and every printer/driver/ink/paper 
combination you intent to use in printing. Failure to do so will result 
in the most futile exercises in frustration you can imagine, while 
doing so will certainly bring gratifying results, depending upon the 
quality of your tools and methodology.

Yes, you must always use custom profiles. No, profiles do not translate 
from one 2200 to another 2200, let alone from a 2200 to a 7600.

Sorry to make such definitive statements, but this is one I have a lot 
of experience behind and can make soundly.
