I love the look of "black only" on Enhanced Matte, using my Epson 2200 with standard inks and software. I also love Hannemuhle Photo Rag 308 paper, but printing BO on PR gives me uneven streaks, expecially noticable in the dark tones. The streaks run parallel to the print-head direction but it's not "banding" in the traditional sense -- it looks like you dragged your finger across the print at about 1-inch intervals. I have tried various Epson paper profiles but it always looks the same -- admittedly, I don't have an official Photo Rag profile (I'm not sure there are any that don't assume you're using all 7 inks). As I said, the BO prints look great on EM, and full-color b&w looks "correct" on PR (just the usual issues) so I don't think it's a mechanical problem, just a paper/ink/software incompatibility somewhere. Can anyone provide help in printing BO on PR using a 2200? Is there a profile that gives good results for this application? Has anyone seen this problem? Thanks.
