Just Yesterday I got to see Clayton's first large print on the 2200. 
It is absolutely beautiful, a fine print by any standards. He's 
replaced the photoblack with MIS Eboni, and the results are great. 
Apparently the dither pattern with a matte-black type cartridge is 
different, and at 2880 on a bigger print there is no sense of 
grittiness at all, no dither-banding, and the tonal range is great. 
I would reccommend that as a first step to anyone. Jump in, the 
water isn't nearly as murky as it appears!
