Thanks Jim,

Colorbyte also created profiles for me on Epson Textured Fine Art (you have
to cut the rolls to fit them through the 2200).  I haven't had the time to
test them yet.  I'm hoping to get to that sometime this week.

Do you know how they decide when new profiles get posted to their site for
ftp download?

Also, I hear 2880dpi support with matte black ink is very close now.

I wish they had an email news letter so I could be sure to stay informed.

--Tom
