This is to be expected when you use a profile calling up the matte 
(unencapsulated) black inks on a semigloss media. You need to use only the photo black 
on such papers.

Duh!! Well I figured that was the problem but there are no other
options to choose and before it prints it says it requires a profile.
I have no idea how to create a profile or how to add one to the list.

If someone sends me a series of letters do I just copy that and paste
it into the profile list? Is it as simple as that or am I so wet
behind the ears that I teeter on cluelessness?  :   )

Once I figure it out I think you'll like the imagery. I'm good at that
part!  LOL

Thanks guys. I'll be graduating from diapers to pull-ups soon.
Can't wait till I'm walking!
