I recieved my inks last night and had exactly the same issues.  I ran 
several nozzel check/ clean cycles and tried several different 
setting, curves vs sliders, different profiles for curves ,etc.  
Until the nozzel check showed perfect patterns I got very obvious 
lines near the edge of the print and faint lines through out using 
EAM.  After I finally ran a clean/check sequence on a peice of scrap 
EAM instead of photo copy paper everything was good.  This might have 
just been that final necessary clean/check cycle or I should have 
used EAM all along, I don't know.  
Since the clean/check cycle worked I have gotten very good initial 
results on EAM and Professional Luster.
A question for Paul: When using curves and Print with Preview on PS8, 
what should the document profile be? Same as source? a Epson paper 
profile? AdobeRGB?
Thanks
