No Color Adjustments isn't really producing very good data but it's the best
we have (unfortunately). We need this setting because it's a "locked down"
setting which is best for profile purposes. I'd love to see Epson apply some
kind of curve or LUT so that this setting would still produce a locked down
setting for profiling but not produce such dark results upon which we have
to base our profiles.
I did try profiling using the "Automatic" setting with minimal settings
(saved in the driver) just to see what effect on profiling would produce. No
question the patches were much better appearing (I could actually see
separation with this setting that I couldn't see using NO Color Adjustment).
So far, this setting *seems* to be working with some very specific types of
images (neutral RGB images, that is, "grayscale"/B&W files in RGB). The
people I've talked to inside of Epson tell me this shouldn't work very well
and to stick with No Color Adjustments. It could be that because I'm using
this setting and profile for a very specific kind of image, I'm getting away
with it. But I would like to know if anyone else has found settings other
than "No Color Adjustments" can work in the real world. Better, we need to
convince Epson to provide a locked down print condition that produces better
output for profiling.
