Thanks for all the input on my original question. I would like to 
comment on profiling an Epson 1280 with MIS GP inks. It worked so 
good that I could print B&W using all ink colors. This was prior to 
PFP 2 and then both my 1280s went down and I have decided to move up 
to the pro line of printers so I haven't been able to see what the 
exteded grays would have done on these printers and probably won't as 
I will be selling the two 1280s for parts or for some one else to 
fix. Another question is  how do the profiles created with PFP2 
compare to the results obtained with the Imageprint Rip that are sold 
with the Epson Pro printers?
