Digital BW, The Print

I wanted to print on the various beautiful translucent vellums sold by
a local fine paper shop...but they advised me that since it's a
plastic base it tends not to hold the pigment.

I think it'd be interesting to print one pass on vellum and another,
possibly in color, on a very bright white such as Enhanced Matte. The
2200 does an incredibly good job of registration, so that's not an issue.

The 2200 can print on just about any paper, so I'm sure the fine true
paper vellums (like those used to cover plates in ancient books, and
that are obviously archival fwiw) will work well, but I've not found
any locally.

Wouldn't it be boring if we could only print on stuff like OEM? Major
Epson advantage.
