  David, I agree with all 3 of your paragraphs 100% ;0  I can only add 
  ' affordable, and easy" are pretty subjective. Many ways to skin a cat so to 
  speak, and I have tried them all from the cheapest to most expensive. If easy 
  means using someone else's rgb curves on YOUR printer and monitior than its no 
  wonder there are inconsistencies all over. I'm a big fan of easy and 
  consistancy, so my point is, you have to do it yourself. Printing out patches and 
  measuring with the eyeone is a breeze, no fuss no muss, just plain and simple 
  linerized greyscale. What a great place to start.
  For users who don't have a handle on color management or the knowledge to 
  write there own perfect RGB curves for conversion, what could be easier? Those 
  expensive options pay for themselves rather quickly.
  I lost my taste for the epson driver along time ago, fourtunately I only use 
  wide format machines now. People think this is too expensive? buts its really 
  a money saver and easier in so many ways.
