It sounds like a settings problem.  There are also several series of 1270
curves out there.  The best are those that start with "vm70."

The settings are as follows:
 
Photoshop general color settings (Edit, Color Settings) should be Photoshop
5 defaults, except that the RGB Working Space is changed to Adobe RGB
(1998).

Epson driver dialog box settings:

	(Only the critical ones for the VM inkset are noted.)

	Media Type:  Matte Heavy Weight,

	Ink:  Color

	Print Quality: 1440

	Color Management:  No Color Adjustment

	Print Space:  Same as Source

Be sure there is no embedded profile in the file.

Hope this works.
