Yes, I saw the options myself when he was there so I guess that does mean
that the printer driver definitely ships with Tiger. We'll check with Epson
to see if the naming convention that Apple uses on their website is the
latest driver but from what I've seen over at Adobe's Photoshop forum, Epson
hasn't updated drivers for Tiger.

I suggested that we try profiliing a different paper since up to now all
profiles have been done with Epson Archival Matte and that media setting.
I'll check with him on the nozzle test pattern.

Good to know but now that we've established that it is the Epson driver, I'm
not going to mess with this. Thanks for the info though.

I am using the latest Match software. The other people who made the other
profile which is also wonky used Profilemaker Pro with the same results (I
guess in a way, if they just used the default setting, then we both used the
same software). I don't have access to other profiling apps but someone has
contacted me off list and offered to analyse the profile. I'm awaiting his
response (which of course I'll post here).

Well that's a slight possiblity but at the very least the profile had 18
hours to dry and probably closer to 24. I may try rescanning the latest one
to see if I can see a difference.
cheers,
Eric
