Now I'm trying to get it set up so I can make good prints. I've
installed the latest drivers and paper profiles but I'm still closing in
on the ideal setup. I'll probably go through a lot of ink and paper
before I get there. I know I did with the 1270 (Stan Halpin, are you
there?<g>)
Mark,
Congratulations on getting your 2200! If you have a well calibrated display, assuming the 2200 meets factory specs, and you have good display and printer profiles, and your ICC workflow is proper, I think you'll find the prints from the 2200 to be very close to what you see on your display even if you use the Epson-supplied printer profiles.
For semi-gloss prints, I've also tried the Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl paper with the Ilford-supplied profile. They work well, and it's a less costly option for printing in larger quantities compared to the Epson Premium Luster paper (I still prefer the Premium Luster, though).
