Digital BW, The Print

Hi Carolyn,

In other printers (Epson 1280 and Epson 870) I found choosing "No 
Color Control" put too much ink down on the paper, so I've always used 
"Color Controls" but left them at the default settings when using an 
ICC workflow. Although the "Automatic" dropdown selection implies 
Epson changes ink output on the fly the output is in fact stable (at 
least that's what I've found). Too much ink was more of a problem for 
me before because I was using glossy paper with color ink and 
excessive ink would cause bronzing.

However, now I'm using quadtone inks and matte paper. I'll try 
re-profiling with the "No Color Adjustment" selected and see what 
happens.
