Roy, if you can imagine a portrait where some of the darkest areas between strands of hair 
(relatively thin areas but still quite noticeable) are receiving no ink whatsoever. The areas 
clearly correspond to the deep shadow areas when compared to a normal Epson driver 
print.

Re: cartridges and cleaning cycles...all carts are at least half full and the 2200 shows no 
sign of malfunction when printing the identical file using the Epson driver.

I would be happy to post a file to my website for review if that would help.
