Frank,

As I understand it, you are trying to print colour having changed the inks in your R1800. You have listed lots of things you have done but you have not said what printer profiles you are using. If you have changed the inks then you will almost certainly need a custom profile - don't be surprised if the generic Epson profiles give "off" colours.
