  Thanks Eddie, I'll do a search and thanks for your answer Greg, if I can't find "Golden" I'll try Paul's curves for the Epson driver.

  I'm awaiting the ink at the moment from Inksupply so can't start yet.

Unless of course you are using the Epson driver with your 1400 , using paul's recommendations
