Digital BW, The Print

I used MISPro as well and saw bronzing for color and B&W using the
color inks.  The dedicated B&W inkset I used (UTR2) had far lower
bronzing than MISPRO.  Aren't there approaches for the 2200 that use
dediated B&W inks with QTR or the Epson driver?  

With the driver, just use QTR Create ICC to linearize and you can
print on whatever paper you want with minimal tweaking.  Of course if
you want glop you'll need to use QTR.

Entrada's a decent paper but I've found its Dmax underwhelming.  I
prefer PhotoRag Duo.  I haven't used VFA but have seen it- it's a bit
more textured than I like.  Try the sample packs at inksupply.com and
inkjetart.com and I'm sure you'll find something you like.
