Hi Edward, Sorry to hear you had problems. You must have been one of the early ones. I too had heard about all kinds of problems. So I was pleasantly surprized when I downloaded it about two weeks ago to test on a printer I temporarily had access too. Evidently the installation procedure has changed dramatically. Now all you do is click on an install program, choose the right printer and the installation program does the rest. So the latest package seems to have ironed out all the stumbling blocks of earlier releases. I tested on Windows XP machine if that makes any difference. I too have an Epson C86 with the MIS UT EZ inks (warm, in my case). The results from both are great. So when I mentioned doing a comparison, I was comparing to the UT EZW inks. Both are great.
