So I will tell Epson that there pigment inks are useless according to 
you think they will be very pleased with that, also I have followed 
the instructions and have printed to your bloody useless profile to 
get these results and I never said anything about adjusting anything 
on screen your produst supposed to do it automatically,don't send any 
replies to this I am selling your product on and would never ever 
encourage anyone to purchase them they are rubbish and also the so 
called technical responce is the same.........repeat no reply needed 
from you
