I'm using Epson's inks on Ilford lustre paper. Epson touts the 2200 as a photographer's printer and indeed as a black and white photo printer so one would think the inks made to go in it would be the very ones with which to produce excellent black and white work. I'm not finding that to be the case but would certainly be open to learning how to get better results with this machine.
