Epson Semi-Matte and R220 help

2006-03-12 by Roger

Hello,
I have an Epson R220 and cut down some semi-matte to try with it.  I 
really like the paper's surface but I'm having trouble finding settings 
that work with it and MIS B&W inks.  Printing without an ICC gives me a 
greyscale ramp that doesn't get nearly dense enough in the dark areas.  

I would appreciate any advice as to which paper type and other settings 
to select in the driver.  Does anyone have an ICC for this paper they 
could share or experience with whether this paper can yield good 
results in this printer?

After trying many different settings, the best results I've gotten so 
far (still not that good) are using Paul Roark's ICC for Epson Premium 
Glossy, setting paper to PGPP but setting gamma in the driver go 2.2 
instead of 1.8.
