The overall ink load with VFA, EEM, and HPR (almost) is fine.  I have 
reduced ink load with the ink load adjustment in the driver and this 
doesn't correct non-linearities.  Nor does the "density" slider.  The 
light, normal, dark, etc.  setting in the driver seems about shadow 
compression and the darker setting is what is compressing the 
shadows.  You can see this in simply visually examining printed test 
strips.  I believe that this is the correct control to use and will 
report the numbers tomorrow.

Steve, also plesee see my last post about the soft proofing.  What I 
didn't say there is that the canned Epson color profile provides 
about as good a soft proof as the 2.3.0 profile and a much better one 
than the 2.3.2 profile.
