	* I print the targets directly through the S3P program not PS
	* I'm PC based
	* Don't own any RIPs
	* Will otherwise follow all directions line by line.
	* FYI - I clean the heads about oncce a month or so... no lines, etc.  I will 
test the printer against some EPSON Archival Matte that I own for a proven image
 Many thanks

One more comment about how to get OSX drivers to print without color management.

OSX 10.5.x and earlier, in the Print dialog (only need to do 1 thing):

- Choose "Off - No Color Management" (after choosing your paper type and output 
resolution)

OSX 10.6.x and later, in the Print dialog (must do 2 things correctly):

- Choose "Epson Color Controls" (not ColorSync) in the Color Matching pane of 
the Print dialog

- AND choose "Off - No Color Management" in the Color Management pane

We're also assuming that you're printing directly from Spyder3Print to the 4000 
through the
standard Epson driver. If you're going through any other driver interface or 
RIP: there's no
guarantee that you're going to be able to turn off color management; what 
happens is determined
by the guts of the non-Epson software that would then be sitting between you and 
the printer.

(and if you can't turn off color management, it's impossible to build a "good" 
profile for
a printer)
