Perhaps this is the article to which you are refering? I wasn't so hot on BO on my 2200 with the Epson matte K and EEM or Kayenta - sorty of "crispy" looking. But, I ran some EPSG through it BO with the Epson photo K on a lark and really liked the results. Between that combo and color printing, I should be able to deplete my EPSG and photo K stock pretty quickly.
