Ah Bob-- You are a prime candidate for Adobe PressReady. You need more ink down on paper and don't mind if too much ink bleeds a bit on some watercolor papers. PressReady will be your dream driver. But it will suck your cartridges dry in no time if you don't limit the ink somewhat (either through one of the supplied profiles or a CMYK setup separations setup). I can't get over how much ink this driver can lay down in a single pass if you tell it to do so. And it is not a fussy difficult RIP to use. It is selected just like the Epson standard driver, no muss, no fuss. Even has a head cleaning and allignment application that is similar too but more convenient than the Epson drivers. Worth every penny. Too bad Adobe doesn't have it for all Epson printers - but the 3000 is one of the supported ones and PressReady comes with an 18 month subscription that allows you to download plug-ins for other printers as they become available (I guess after 18 months you need to buy a new copy if you buy a new printer??).
