Do you have the Matte ink in the printer?  Select your paper type. 
Click on black only and then select custom.  Untick high speed and 
select 2880 dpi.

That should be all there is to it.  Best of luck!

I have been trying this method for some time and am really pleased 
with the results.  The tone of the Epson Matte Black is a little 
warm, similar to Agfa Record Rapid! I am going to try MIS Ebony Black 
to see if that is a little more neutral as per Clayton's instructions.
