There may be some confusion about the latest 1280 PC curves for the MIS VM
inkset.

The curves with the prefix "vmp8" are for the VM inkset with a PC and the
1280 printer.

However, new settings need to be used.  They are different from the Mac
settings and different from what was being used initially with the PC and
1280.  We've gone to Photo Paper media type to be able to utilize the top
2880 resolution.

The settings are as follows:

Photoshop general color settings (Edit, Color Settings) should be Photoshop
5 defaults, which include sRGB.

Epson driver dialog box settings:

	(Only the critical ones for the VM1 inkset are noted.
	If in parentheses, they may be grayed-out or are optional.)

	Media Type:  Photo Paper

	Ink:  Color

	Print Quality: 720, 1440, or 2880

	Halftoning:  Error Diffusion

	Color Management:

		Color Controls checked

		Mode Automatic

			Sliders - Leave at 0 to start

			The Magenta slider controls the toner.
			Use for fine-tuning only.
			More "magenta" = cooler print;
			Less "magenta" = warmer print.
			(Do not use sliders with "warm" curve.)

	Source Space

		Document:  sRGB

	Print Space:  Same as Source

	Media Gamma - 1.8


The general workflow is the same as the other 6-ink printers.

Thanks, Paul, for clearing this up. I'll go back and try them again.
