Digital BW, The Print

I had the same exact problem with my 2200 (prints looking green in 
daylight), even using the Epson Gray Balancer software.  I recently 
switched to using MIS UT7 inkset and am very impressed with the 
results.  For more info on these inks, got to www.inksupply.com or 
www.paulroark.com.
