I don't recommend C6 in the 1800.  I think you'll have microbanding.  
The Eboni-6 surfactant is probably strong enough to work well, but 
not Photo Flo.

I dislike the 1800 Epson driver, so I'd recommend QTR.  Then it 
really doesn't matter where you put the different densities.

With the 1800 Epson driver you have to guess what the R and B are 
going to be doing.  It's just not worth messing with.
