Hi again. Bob Zeiss sent the following setup instructions:
"Try
Print Media = Heavy Wt Matte Paper
Print Quality = Best Photo
High Speed = Off
Color Management = Automatic
Sliders = zero
Some papers work better than others. Start with Epson Enhanced Matte."
With the current Mac C84 driver, there is no "Automatic" choice for Color
Management. However, setting Color Management to On with all sliders set to zero
did the trick. The 21 step file prints nicely on EEM.
When MIS says Warm, they mean Warm :-)
