Paul:

When you say *with the right settings*, I assume you primarily mean 
checking the *no color correction box* in the Epson driver.  I've 
always assumed that doing so (without any direct knowledge) turned 
over control to the user defined profile (partitioned curve set) and 
that the Epson driver became just a pass-through translator of RGB to 
CYMK. 

My 1160 RGB partitioned curve set for the FS inkset appears to lay 
down pure light-gray ink, not only in the highlights, but from 255 to 
about 177 (or 0% to 30%) where the mid-gray ink kicks in.
