Epson 2200 OEM pigs now neutral?

2006-03-10 by djon43

Recent Black Only prints using Epson 2200 OEM matte black pigments
seem  perfectly neutral, not Epson-warm...

...in all sorts of light, including very warm tungsten, "daylight"
fluorescent, open shade, strong sun...

Has anyone else recently seen neutral black with Epson 2200 pigments?

Have there been any announcements from Epson about improvements?

I'm mostly printing on Kayenta, which is whiter than EEM and stays
that way (better in every respect)...earlier Kayenta and other papers
in Black Only look classically Epson-warm, which is the main reason
I've preferred QTR ...I've refrained from Eboni so far. 

I wonder if these prints will get warmer with age or if Epson's done
the right thing?
