I would suggest CMYK profiles and of course a RIP that will handle 
them properly. That also kind of eliminates the R220 as a testbed 
since I doubt you'll find a CMYK RIP for that printer. You may find 
that you need to put the medium and light black inks in the LC and LM 
slots for the 7500 to print well. A lot of that will come down to how 
the RIP does the dithering.
