<x-charset iso-8859-1>Thanks to all for input relative to my printing problems with 1270. I finally got so frustrated that I called Epson, and the technician took me through her recommended settings. The resulting image was horrible. I explained that I thought this printer was someone else's reject because it was obviously not a new one (plastic protector on cover gone; scratches present), so she finally agreed to send me a replacement. Putting off further tests until then. Most of my trials have been with Profiler RGB profiles, and what I did learn is that the scanner settings for the Calibration Chart are extremely important, enough to remove some distorted ink deposits in selected areas of the images. I posted another message regarding my disagreement with the scanner Twain settings suggested by David Miller in his recent document for Profiler RGB 2.07. Donald - Turn off HTML mail features.
