This also seems a good place to ask the following question. Does anyone have a key to the
rankings (in terms of ink loads) in the various Epson settings?

Its a question that gets asked every so often, but doesn't really have an answer. The different media might take a heavier inkload, say, in the darks, but lighter in the midtones, while another would require more ink in the highlights, but less in the shadows. So only a very rough scale could be built. And it would have to be built for each black ink, for multiple black ink printers. And each printer model uses differing dot sizes and ink blends, so what works for one won't for another. In the long run, you just have to figure this out for a given situation.
