Digital BW, The Print

Steve,

I know that; all I'm saying is that, using that setting, I get very good 
color and B&W prints from the R1800.

Your advice only holds true if you have or can make a better profile than 
that built in to the Windows driver (I have no experience of the Mac 
driver). Of course, if you are using non-Epson papers you will need a 
profile. But I doubt if any profile I can make with an i1Photo and iMatch 
will give better results on Epson paper than the R1800 has as standard.

Now with my old 1290 and 2100 it was a different story; neither of them were 
very good out-of-the-box, and I had to make profiles even for the Epson 
papers. And that wasn't easy.

 The printer can't reproduce 1:1 Adobe RGB - it, as the
article acknowledges, has its own colour gamut.  They are simply making the
implementation of ICC profiles and colour management a little easier for
novice users by taking it internally.
