Don,
I don't know about the 2200 but I have used it for some time with both
1200s and a 3000 where it can make very beautiful images. It will
absorb heavy loads of ink so I would guess you need to use an
apropriate paper setting ie:whichever gives maximum ink laydown on the
2200. You will also, for color, need high saturations. For B&W try
black only printing. At the small dot size of 2200 that is likely to
give the best D'max and good blacks. The paper seems to have a
reasonably linear tonal scale but you will probably need to use a
curve in your image prep to separate the very low tones eg:the 85-100%
ink area, for printing. You can print on either side of the
paper.(very helpful when you are testing it as you can use both sides).
I like the paper very much but it is not for every image. If it were a
darkroom paper it would be considered a low contrast grade and require
a juicy neg.

Best,

Duane
