Same problem with me.. I recently bought a 2200 and wanted to look at 
options for making b+w prints.. so far I've been impressed with QTR and 
UC inks and I've also looked at UT7 and QTR which is also impressive 
but only has profiles for EEM paper.  When I tried Epson driver with 
UT7 curves from MIS my test gray scales were always messed up;  pure 
black through about 85% then an abrupt shift to nearly white.  I'm sure 
It's something I'm doing wrong but can't figure out what.  I'm using 
OSX, latest version.
