I don't have a 2200, so I'd be curious how the Ultra Tone inks compare to
the UltraChromes with respect to the "bronzing" and other RC paper problems.
From what I can tell the UltraChromes have about the same issues.  When I
was testing various Epson Archival pigment-based quads, they seemed to be
quite a bit worse than the UltraTones.

I'm also eager to try some of the newest Epson papers.  The Pro Glossy and
semi matte sound interesting.  (Epson has the most confusing array of RC
papers.  I think they must be trying everything they can to see what will
work and be accepted by the market.)
