Julie,

I've been using my 2200 with Eboni for several months now.  I love the
BO prints on EEM (slightly warm) and Red River Polar Matte (neutral to
my eyes).  Red River Polar Matte is very cold toned paper, smooth and
quite nice.  I never spray the matte prints.  I do spray prints that I
make on Epson Semi Gloss or Permajet Oyster.  They are fine when
sprayed about four coats, but that is only for the semi gloss papers,
the mattes are fine without spraying.

I use the Eboni now all the time in my 2200.  I do BO prints and some
color too.  I'm a happy guy with this set up for now.
