Stephen:

After sleeping on it, I'd like to add that you should also make sure 
to remove any monitor correction (dot-gain curves) you implemented 
for PiezoBW.  You need a monitor calibrated to 6500K and gamma 2.2 
with properly set b/w points--a plain vanilla calibration.  In 
general, images that have been optimized to print with the PiezoBW 
driver, will not print well using the Epson driver unless you apply 
another transfer curve to "undo" the PiezoBW optimizations.  I think 
Robert Morrison has posted several messages in this group on this 
topic (and probably others--sorry if I forgot you).
