Digital BW, The Print

Greetings, all.

I am trying to find my way into the world of printing with Eboni ink -- with 
a full UC inkset via QTR as well as BO via the Epson driver.   I've bought a 
2200 cartridge for testing on my 2200, but my goal is to run this ink through 
my new 7600.   

I installed the 2200 cartridge this afternoon.   It printed 3/4 of one 5x6 
photograph, BO by the Epson driver, and seemed to give great results ... except 
the bottom quarter of the photograph did not print.   I tried to print again, 
and while the printer went through the motions of printing the photo, not one 
drop of Eboni left the cartridge, leaving me with a clean blank page at the 
end.

Is this common of Eboni ink?   If so, I need to rethink my use of Eboni 
before committing my 7600 to the ink.   If not, is it an issue specific to the 2200 
but not others?   Is the 7600 likely to suffer from the same clogging if I 
install an Eboni cartridge in the 7600's   K position?   Is there a way to fix 
the clog and get the cartridge to start printing again?   

I apologize for asking for so much handholding in this group over the past 
couple of weeks.   Every time I think I figured out how best to print b+w 
photographs on these Epsons, a new issue arises that makes me rethink my approach.
