Justin,

EEM with the Eboni matte black.  Below is the info form the read-me 
file that was included with the profiles:

QuadToneRIP 2.0(beta 8) Profiles for the Epson 2200 with MIS Ultratone 
Inks

These profiles were made for printing with the Epson 2200 on Epson 
Enhanced Matte paper (EEM) using the MIS Ultratone (UT) Inkset.  The 
cartridge ink positions for the Ultratone inks in the Epson 2200 are as 
follows:

K - UT Photo K (not used for these profiles)
LK - UT Eboni Matte Black
C - UT Dark Gray (75% K)
LC - UT Medium Gray (50% K)
M - UT Blue Toner
LM - UT Sepia Toner
Y - UT Light Gray (25% K)

After loading the above inks do nozzle checks and cleaning cycles as 
necessary and also make purge prints as required to clear the residual 
color inks (particularly the Y position light gray).

There are four linearized profiles:

1. 2200-UT-MK_warm
2. 2200-UT-MK_cool
3. 2200-UT-MK_neutral
4. 2200-UT-MK_sepia

The profiles may be used alone or any two may be blended in the desired 
proportions using the blender feature in the QTR print driver.
