QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hi Tom,
I have just started printing B&W on the 2200.  I have
tried a variety of settings, etc.  I have downloaded
the various paper profiles and yet I'm getting a color
cast on all B&W-some more than others.  I DO NOT have
any RIP software.  Everything I got came with the
Epson printer.

Perhaps I should ask the question: What steps are
needed to get good B&W with the 2200 without
purchasing software that cost $400-$500?
Thanks for your help, Ken
