Paul:

I agree that a "no curves" FS inkset would be ideal.  But I am afraid 
that this will require a whole lot of tweaking with the inkset 
densities. Even using "no color correction" in the Epson driver, 
cross-platform uniformity may be difficult (not to mention the day to 
day and printer to printer variations).  I guess there ARE 3 working 
days per solar day and thus 21 working days per solar week....
