Hi Andrew,

Try using black ink only(1440 hi speed off) on the 2100/2200 on a paper like 
Enhanced Velvet for Epson. I find it excellent.

I have tried it. The result indeed is much more neutral with the black only setting. No colourshifts along the greywedge and no metamerism.
So far so good.
Unfortunately the image structure is not as smooth as when using all 7 colours. 
The dots in the highlights are much more visible and the prints have a less "photographic" look.

It would be nice if you could use Mate Black AND light black for B&W prints.
I think the result would be smoother.
