Use the install in the "2100-220-UC" folder. UC stands for UltraChrome...Epson's name for 
their ink.

Make sure you printer is on when you install the profiles.

Thank you so much, John.  Just got a good print using your advice.  I
was pretty confused before.

Sharon, I don't have a 2200 any longer but let me see if I can  
remember the steps;

If you're going to use the inks that came with the printer they're  
called UC - for UltraChrome - and you printer has an 8th cartridge  
that's a special "matte black" for B&W printing. Anyone one out there  
correct me on this please! If this is your situation I believe you  
use Quad2200.

That means it may take several prints to flush out the old black ink  
before the new ink gets to your paper.

Ink companies make special sets of ALL black cartridges (different  
shades) for the 2200 but you still have to flush out the old  
UltraChrome ink to take advantage of these other inks and that gets  
expensive.

Cheapest way to start may be to use Quad2200, the UC inks you have  
(replace the black with "matte black"- look it up in your owners  
manual) and print out several prints on cheap paper.

And remember, you've got to select the proper paper profile, with MK  
after it's name, to get the printer to print B&W.

Thanks, Alan.  I can't believe I didn't think of putting in the matte
black.

Happens to most, if not all, of us:)
