I recently purchased a refurbished Epson 2200 for making black and white prints with MIS UT7 inks, using the eboni black, epson driver and the Paul Roark curves. When printing on Epson Premium Glossy, in the very darkest areas of the print (and only in those areas) I get little dotted track marks which I belive are coming from the tiny metal spurs or pinwheels that are part of the paper feed mechanism. The marks seem to exactly match the spacing of those wheels. If I switch to Epson Enhanced Matte there are no marks, but then the blacks are not as deep and at certain lighting angles look "chalky" rather than "inky." Is there something I need to adjust on my printer? If not, can anyone recommend a paper which has curves written for it (either by Paul Roark or someone else), which has (relatively) deep, inky blacks, which is archival, available in 13-inch wide sizes (Super B) and which will not show these tracks? I haven't yet tried the Epson Premium Semi-gloss which Paul highly recommends. I am willing to compromise on the archival qualities if I have to. If there are already answers to this posted I was unable to find them; please point me in the right direction. Thanks.
