For instance, that the Epson drivers still are no replacement for IP with the older printers, in 
my case the 2200.

That's not what I see in a few samples. The 3rd black certainly helps, and the Epson samples I 
have show separation down to 100%. I constantly read of complaints about IP blocking up 
deep shadows. There was an article posted here comparing curves, the Epson looked better 
to me.
I haven't seen results on matte paper with mK yet.

Haven't heard about that, could just be a profile problem. For B&W there's going to be some 
color ink used to neutralize the tone. The K inks are warm by themselves.

Do you have lnks to any of these results?
