Thanks Steve (and Ernst D):

When you say "LK", you mean light black? What inkset is that in? It's not in the UT-R2 for 
the R220. I found a "light black" in the UT2 and UT7 sets for the 2200.

I wonder if one of the inks in the other positions on the R220 inkset is a light black?

Cyan Position  R2N-T0482-C
Magenta Position  R2N-T0483-M
Yellow Position  R2N-T0484-Y
Lt.Cyan Position R2N-T0485-LC
Lt.Mag Position  R2N-T0486-LM

Thanks again all,
Craig

Hi Craig;

All of those inks are lighter than Eboni or Photo Black. I believe 
the Cyans are cool/neutral, and the magentas are pure carbon, so 
they'll look very warm. I would suggest trying the LC for starters, 
& if you need to you can blend a small quantity to taste.

No, the dark midtones are a darker than LK, and the light midtones are
lighter than LK.
