> 2. copy the profiles to the 'Color' folder usually

>    'Windows\system32\color'
> 3. In Photoshop convert the image to RGB

>    - In the PS6 print dialog press 'Setup...'
>    - Choose 'Epson Stylus Photo 1270' in 'Printer' and press
>      'Properties...'. You will see the 1270 print dialog.
>    - Set 'media type' to the Epson paper you use
>    - Set 'Ink' to 'Color'
>    - Set 'Mode' to 'Custom'
>    - Press 'Advanced...'
>    - Set 'Print Quality' to 'Photo - 1440dpi'
>    - Set 'Halftoning' to 'High quality halftoning'
>    - Uncheck 'High speed'
>    - Set 'No Color Adjustment' in Color Management
>    - You can save those settings with 'Save settings'
>      so you don't have to reset all those settings next time you print.
>    - Click OK and Click OK on the next dialog again
