Carl,

I cannot see how a calibration process can work if you choose to use a 
different paper. The numbers that Epson will be using to correct to will be 
from their printer printing on their papers. So you must use their papers 
for calibration. If you checked the Velvet Fine Art box, then your printers 
results will be corrected to match Epson's results on Velvet Fine Art. But 
if you used another paper, or another ink, or another drying time, etc., 
etc., your measurements will be useless, and correcting them to match 
Epson's will be pointless.

After calibrating your printer, you can try other papers.

  I used
a sheet of Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Satin and selected Velvet Fine Art
media type, to see what happens with a 3rd party paper type.
