Digital BW, The Print

Sounds like your ink isn't drying quickly enough. I didn't have any trouble with 
that film and the 2200, even with matte black, but I have heard of others who 
have. You may try  a Photo black if you are using Matte black. Secondly, 
experiment with your media settings in the Epson driver. LIke, try the glossy 
film setting or premium glossy setting to try to lay down less ink. Finally one of 
my students had this exact same problem and I told him to back off on the 
density of his file in Photoshop by making the deepest backs less dense in a 
curves adj layer. In other words, if your deepest backs are set on say 5, try 
placing that value on 10 or 15. That reduction of shadow density in the file did 
the job for him, He was using the 2200 with PK and printing out of rgb color 
space. With greyscale output I would assume a similar backing off the blacks 
could also help.
