MIS UT in 2200 w/ Roark/Staver curves: shadow compression

So I'm starting to get some REALLY good results from my 2200 with the UT 
inks and the modified Roark curves (thanks Daniel!).

The major problem I have now is compression in my shadow details.  A 
really dark print looks pretty lousy.  I was wondering if I need to 
switch to the Eboni black ink.  I'm using the UT Photo Black that came 
with it on Epson Semigloss paper.  I'm getting the same results on EEM 
too, but I expected that since it's not a matte ink.

Any ideas?  How do I go about troubleshooting this one?  Should I post a 
step wedge scan for people to look at?
