I think I could use this workflow is there was a cooler black ink 
available for the 2100 and if BO with photo black actually worked.

I wish there was a printing mode that would allow me to just use the 
black and the light black, I imagine this could give pleasing results.

Yes, and it certainly isn't easy! I hope rumors are true that Epson 
are coming up with some better solutions for this. I'm making 
christmas presents for my family now, and it worries me to give away 
BW photos that might look purple or green depending on which 
lightning conditions they are displayed in.

It was fun experimenting with this, at least now I have an 
alternative that will give me predictable results.
