Hi All

I need some help.  I having trouble thinking in CMY(K) terms.  I'm after a
strong "chocolate"
hue.

Firstly, I am puzzled as to why Epson put the R and G where they did.  You'd
think it would
make more sense to have the R at (53H,53V) and the G at (-53,53) (and
applied a similar
logic to C and M).  Then you'd have some bearings as to RGB or CMY(K).  (A
more towards red
would be +H and +V where H=V etc.)

(10,10) seems close but no cigar.  I feel like I am chasing my tale and
printing a ton of step
wedges.  Any ideas/pointers?

Steve
