You mean the difference between those two packages? PM lets you edit
profiles. If you aren't satisfied with the results from Eye-One Photo,
you're at a dead end.

I used I1P to make a profile for the 2200 inks on Premium Luster, and it
came out virtually identical to the the one that you can now download from
Epson, which is a pretty good profile, IMO. But on a B&W image, I can still
see a faint color cast over part of the grayscale range. I might be able to
get rid of that with PM, with some work, but not with I1P. I haven't
bothered to deal with it, because I've opted for other ways of printing B&W.
