Note that I have not tested this or made any profiles for it yet.  So,
you're jumping the gun a bit.

If they use any Y position ink, I'd change that ink to a "Not Used."

The Epson dither hides defects better, particularly at the ends of the
paper.  For the best prints with the 1400 both rollers need to be engaged.

One reason for the extra LC is to hide the defects.  My 2K2LK with QTR is
better than the Epson driver.  A lot of it is just how many inks are firing.
