Printing MIS-VM inks on 1160 with Mac OS X

2002-11-30 by donaldfl

I have been very happy with my print quality using MIS-VM inks with
Paul Roark's workflow on my Epson 1160, Mac OS 9.2.2, and Photoshop 
7.01, EAM paper.

Then I installed Mac OS 10.2.2.  

When I open Print with Preview, my color settings are 
Source Space: sRGB, 
Print Space: same as source.  
Clicking Print brings up the Epson Driver.  My settings there under
Print Settings are 
Media Type: Matte Paper - Heavyweight, 
Ink: color
now the problem starts
Mode: choice of Automatic or Advanced
Automatic: Quality gives me a 720dpi print with High Speed Printing
on, no good for what I want to do
Advanced: Print Quality -1440dpi, Half toning - High Quality, I pick
this
Next window - Color Mangement
Color Controls is the only choice that gives me access to the ink
controls, but I do not have the choice of Mode: Automatic that I
had with OS 9, instead I need to choose either Mode: Photorealistic or
Mode:Vivid.
When I print with either of these modes, I get strange results,
blacks too dark, whites too light.
I can always go back to printing with OS 9, but I'd like to make OS X
work.
I tried GIMP Print, but things are even stranger there.
