Re: Light Black/Dark Black/Matte Black

Thanks again, Sarah.  Cris figured out the problem.  A limitation of the driver, 
apparently. Only someone who'd run into it would know about.  I hadn't found it 
in the archive.  It seems that the 2200 can't use the 2880 resolution setting 
that's available in the pull-down.  

Anyway, I've seen my first print and it looks very neutral, which is what I'm 
after.  I'm going to have to find profiles for the paper I already have in stock 
(Velvet Fine Art) because the density is a little low compared to the monitor and 
the Epson driver print (which looks green in daylight).  

I'm using the PFA profile supplied with the download.  Perhaps PFA has 
different ink absorbtion to VFA.  I'd like to get the prints a little darker, closer to 
the monitor and the density of the Epson driver print.

Thanks again for your help.
