Helene,

I am far from an "expert" on the 2200, though I own one. I am suggesting that a 
black-only print of a grayscale would show you if that head is misbehaving. 

You can do that either with the Epson driver or with OPM and a black-only 
profile. If it misbehaves with the Epson driver in black-only mode, and your 
attempts to fix it fail, you should call Epson and have it replaced (if still under 
warranty). If it doesn't misbehave with Epson's driver, but misbehaves with 
OPM and a black-only profile, then there is something OPM is doing different 
and it bears reporting to bowhaus for a possible fix. 

Perhaps while you are waiting for a black-only IJC profile,  you can try the 
Epson driver and eliminate that scenario. The other variable could be a faulty, 
or near-empty cart - but that's just a guess on my part.
