The best results I've had on the Epson 2200 with Black Only ink was 
to use Arches Infinity Smooth in the lighter weight. Those make 
excellent B&W prints, if you use the Arches profile. They look just 
like B&W prints from the 1970s-1980s. Deep shadows, lots of gray 
tones, soft whites. The texture of the paper is just right, too.

The Epson Velvet Fine Art paper is much heavier. It's even heavier 
than the Arches Infinity Smooth in the heavier weight. The prints 
are OK, but not nearly as nice as Arches Infinity.

Cheers,

Mitch
