My experience of the 4000 is very similar - the canned profiles are light, magenta and weak. This is on Epson textured heavyweight, premium lustre and premium gloss rolls.
Prints using a profile which I made for a canon 950, on Epson matt paper are the nearest that I have been able to get to an acceptable result - with the setting in the Epson on auto. Everything else is coming out absolutely terrible. The strange thing is that the print preview (win 2k) looks OK for the canon profile, but... Too light for the Epson profiles. I have tried creating eye one photo profiles, but these too suffer in the same way (though too cyan). Having gone through the starter packs of inks, and several rolls of paper (not to mention tooo many evenings and weekends) trying to get the colours right (and I have googled this endlessly), the next move is to get some one in to profile some media, and set up a rip... Any views on Bodoni and proofmaster folio (I like the idea of being able to offer a genuine proof).
