Digital BW, The Print

Didn't you have a big problem getting reasonable blacks just a day or
two ago? 

Sounds like bad ink...when you say OEM "MK and PK" do you mean
virginal Epson OEM carts or something non-standard... ?

Using 2200 I've long been sold on Moab... loved the old Kayenta, (now
Lasal Matte)...use that to proof Entrada Bright...and more often,
Entrada Natural and Museo Portfolio Rag ( maybe +3C if I want totally
neutral Natural and Rag...same as with HPR). +++ it seems to me
there's literally no variation across those papers except for the
obvious bright vs natural+++I've only used a few test sheets of
Colorado Matte and lost them...can't comment on that paper except that
I thought at the time that it was redundant with Entrada... 

Switching to glossy (& changing machines to R800), I use Moab Lasal
Gloss and a remaining cache of old Costco Kirkland glossy
interchangably...again, they seem tonally identical to Lasal Matte
(Kayenta). 

My ultimate favorite fine paper is now Moab Colorado Satine
Fiber...unfortunately nfg on 2200 because of gloss differential and
bronzing... Satine is absolutely perfect with my $50 Ebay R800 test
machine...I'm looking for a similarly cheap 1800 (same OEM carts).
