No.

The problem is not making profiles at all. Spyderprint does that fine and in any case the Epson icc profiles are quite good. Very good, actually.

The problem is when you print with Photoshop handles colors and use that or an Epson profile it looks like crap.

Since the Epson driver and the R1800 are essentially obsolete in Snow Leopard. Which is why my R1800 is on Craigslist and the R3880 is in use as it works perfectly with Epson and Moab profiles in CS with PS handling colors.

This is done by assigning an RGB profile and then printing using that same profile -- per C.D. Tobie's post & Eric Chang at http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/solving.shtml
