I've been using the new MIS PRO inks on a 2200 for the last couple of
months. Am able to get good results with QTR and regular 2200
profiles, on matte paper with eboni black. No bronzing I can see.

I will give it a try with photo black and glossy paper and let you
know how it goes.

(BTW, these inks also seem to work pretty well printing glossy color
using standard Epson profiles, though I have not done anything
critical with them. Virtually no bronzing visible here either.)

Cost is MUCH lower with these inks, if you refill the ink carts -
which is very quick and easy to do with their clear, 'no-sponge'
(partial sponge, actually) carts. I've decided to steer away from a
CIS, due to clogging issues with an 1160 in the past. So far so good
in that department - no clogging problems using refillable carts. If I
eventually develop any problems, I figure I can just buy new
refillable carts as necessary...
