If you wish to view images with the darker result that ink gain will cause, 
to better simulate your final results, use the black ink setting. This means 
you have to have a meaningful CMYK profile chosen with a dot gain that is 
correct for your printer. This will only help in previewing to the Epson, 
which will in fact ignore the dot gain and black ink settings when it prints 
and use its own defaults...
