Re: "Solarized" appearance ?

Just for kicks, try the 2200's "Black Only" setting (rather than using
QTR) on that GoldFibre Silk. Just print directly from the color file
(if you have one), don't even convert to B&W.

2200 UC OEM Black Only does print with little or no bronzing or gloss
differential on certain papers (eg Costco Kirkland, last time i
tried), though Epson's black is reddish (not necessarily unattractive
and you do get a grainy look on small prints.
