Actually, the Museo Max is quite a nice paper.

It's the Epson 9800 that is having trouble printing right.  Using an 
Epson 10000 prints out a more satisfactory target.

For some reason the Epson 9800 won't print out differentiated target 
patches for many squares.  For instance:

RGB values =
   	0, 32, 0
	32. 0, 0
	0, 0, 32
	0, 64, 32
	0, 64, 64
	0, 32, 64

all look about the same on the print out from the Epson 9800.

They are clearly distinguishable when printed on the Museo paper with 
the Epson 10000.

I am worried that we just have a bad 9800.

Now I guess, I need to make profiles for the old 10000.  I still 
haven't gotten this profiling thing down yet, though....

I don't know how close the above values are when printed....but could it be you are printing 
on the back of the paper? Sorry for stating the obvious!

Thanks, John.

Good theory.  Things like that do happen and thanks for suggesting the possibility.

But nope, that's not it.
