Hello Andrea--

I'm new to this group as well, but very familiar with your 
experience with the 2200 printing black and white.  I had as 
wretched and awful a time as you did.  I think that you are right to 
stop trying to get an acceptable black and white print from your 
current setup--it really is totally impossible, and a waste of time 
and money.   I got  completely fed up, so now I use the Sundance 
septone inks for the 2200, delivered by a CFS.  It is initially 
expensive to set up, but after that, the ink costs drop about 80% 
compared to using cartridges, and the prints are extremely 
satisfying, tonally rich, and free of metamerism.  If you have any 
questions, let me know and I'll try to help

Cheers,

YS Yoon
