Shannon,
I make physical density negatives on Pictorico with the 2000P. The
2000P uses different pigmented inks than the 2200 but I don't think
the end result is that different in terms of density.
What I do is print with the printer set to Color mode from a
grayscale file. This gives a negative that is very neutral in color
and the density range is approximately the same as if I were to print
with just black ink.
