Thanks, Jerry. I've heard opinions that the Generations beta is the
blackest of the bunch, but I haven't tested it yet. The Epson black is
certainly good, but fading/shifting then becomes a concern. I find the MIS
VM black to be quite weak.

And thanks for the tip on the Epson printer profiles: most at the top
through least at the bottom certainly seems logical...
