Presuming you use a profiled printing workflow and have a good profile for the paper you're using, prints should match your screen to within a very small range of deviation after dry down. Depending upon what I'm printing, dry down can take an hour or a day: B&Ws with lots of deep tones and color prints with lots of highly saturated colors load the paper with a lot of ink, they take the longest to dry down. (Note that I use only Matte surface papers. Glossy papers might be different ...) I find profiles included with the R2400 for Epson Enhanced Matte and Velvet Fine Art papers are superb, they work beautifully with a profiled workflow when printing from both Photoshop CS2 and Lightroom v4.1 beta. The ones supplied for Moab Kayenta and Hahnemühle Fine Art Photo Rag are not as accurate, I've gotten better results with both going to the print driver's Advanced Color/B&W Controls. I suspect that if I want to use them a lot, I'll need to have custom profiles made up or get a print profiling package.
