Thanks for your quick response. This paper is one I use for printing B&W images using QuadtoneRIP and other MIS inks. Admittedly, it\u2019s a different situation, but I have no problem with over inking in that case.
Your suggestion that the paper ink combination was unsuitable prompted me to try another test. I can print the Media Setting Check image from Photoshop using the ICC profile for Epson Enhanced Matte and get decent blacks and no mottling that I can see. The only problem is that the image has a slight magenta cast. Since I like this paper and have invested a bit of money in it, I would like to use it for some of my colour work. Also, since the prints are so close to what I want, it\u2019s difficult for me to see it as an incompatible printer/ink/paper combination.
My printer software (Epson 2200) does have a colour density slider. Can you tell me in what manner would using the slider be a compromise?

Or choose another paper; there are paper, ink, and printer combinations that
simply don't produce good results together (thats why Epson lists some papers
for use with a given printers, and not others). If you get universal mottling,
then unless your printer offers a color density slider, you should move on to
another media; and even if you do have a density slider, it will be a
compromise to use it, and a media not requiring it would be preferable...
