Start with "Print with Preview" in the newer PS versions, and if curves are

Adobe RGB (1998).

First hit ICM then No Color Adjustment.

Be sure the nozzle check is good, and it might be a good idea to be sure the
inks look like they are correct.  See the test files at
http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/Test-files.htm.  Print the Purge7-2 and see
that it looks like the Purge7-UT7-2200.  (The settings are written on the
UT7 file.)

Hope this helps.
