<x-flowed>John, I am running the same basic set up that you are. I just ran some sample prints last night and I got the same results. The only difference is I have the Wizi target. I ran the Royal papers and Somerset Enhanced with and without using the wizi profile, there was not much of a difference in the prints. I think I liked the prints without the profile better. I wish I new that before I bought the target but, it may be needed for other papers later on. I ran the Royal papers set on Photo Quality Inkjet Paper and the Somerset on Glossy film. Now I need to figure out what the best way is to fill my cartridges the second time. I get a good fill the 1st time but I need to decide on how I want to seal the exit port for the 2nd fill, replace the seal or use tape, so I can pull a good vacuum.

Thought I should share my experiences on Windows 98SE. At first, I had the monitor calibrated with Adobe Gamma and the screen was white as I've used it for years. I was printing using PhotoShop 5.5, parallel port, EPSON 1200 profile, unchecked Printer Color Management PhotoPaper setting, 1440, Automatic, all adjustments zero, The results were lighter than I liked. Had to change printer driver britness a lot to compensate. There were subtle but distinct color shifts compared to the monitor when using the CYMK Ballons.tif from the Photoshop samples folder. I converted the mode to RGB before printing. I downloaded WiziWYG and used it to calibrate the monitor by eye. The screen color changed to a warm white that I would have called too warm. The screen seemed brighter. The monitor brightness control had changed from +30 to +60. My two monitor system makes this very evident since I did not calibrate the second screen. BUT, as a side effect, now the printer output and the monitor are identical! Both brightness and color. As I've said, my color sense is not super, but I can easily compare relative changes between adjacent colors and this particular photo is filled with strips of distinct, adjacent colors. I've got the WiziWYG target on order to handle other papers, but this Royal Weave (same coating as Royal Plush), Generations Ink is so close to Epson ink/PhotoPaper that I can not see a difference other than the glossy effect on the Epson product. Oh, yeah, the monitor is a Sampo 17" ($260) which is the most bang for the buck I've ever seen in a monitor. Excellent color controls, clear and bright, and easily calibrated. And no, I don't have finacial interest in any product mentioned, :-) John Human = soap bubble. Beautiful, delicate, transient, materials reuseable. Buffy: "Fire, bad.
