Digital BW, The Print

You will never abolish metamerism and color cross over with Epson
color inks in the 1280 you would need one of the fine monochrome
inksets from MIS or Cone for that. 

For the 2200 you should download, pay the $50.00 for, and use QTR rip.
That solution will surprise the hell out of you as long as you are
printing on matte or fine art papers. There are other rips as well
that you can read about by searching these archives.  But QTR is in my
opinion the biggest bang for the buck and totally eliminates
metamerism and allows for tones prints as well.
