Hello Steve, >I just got my epson 2200 in today, and I wanted to try printing >with the epson photo black ink in black only. > >I set the printer for 2880 dpi, black only, gamma is 1.8. Anyway, >I did get a brownish (sepia cast to the print) Yes, the Photo Black ink prints very warm and has rather poor Dmax on matte papers. However, the Epson Matte Black is less warm and has excellent Dmax. The Eboni ink will be even less warm than that, also with excellent Dmax. Congrats on the new 2200. I use Eboni in mine for BO prints with really good results and no clogging problems. Regards, Clayton Info on black and white digital printing at http://www.cjcom.net/digiprnarts.htm
