I've just run a bunch of prints on the 2200 using the BO method at (2800 Res) with Epson's 
Luster and Semigloss paper and Kodaks Luster. Using the glossy paper I can't detect any of 
the "dots" one sees when using matte paper. And the tonal separation is very smooth. 

I've compared these prints to those I've made using matte paper with QTR. Other than the 
sheen of the glossy paper, I can't tell a difference in quality (Although Epson's Photo Black 
ink is on the warm side).

Go figure. Either my eyes need an adjustment or this method works well with glossy 
papers.
