Digital BW, The Print

I just purchased the set of MIS carbon inks for the Epson 2200. I 
started with a grayscale photo, working on Photoshop, added one of the 
curves downloaded from Paul Roark's site, made all settings according 
to directions and then got either a ghost or halo of an image or an 
image that looked solarized. I have no idea what on earth I did wrong. 
I took the MIS inks, went back and printed with Image Print and QTR 
and things went well. Anyone have a guess? 

Thanks.
