That is interesting what you have discovered about the color settings in
Epson drivers, and is a little at odds with what I have found. Is this for
all the color settings or just Automatic? I am seeing better than sRGB here
but I have not done the kind of Graphing you are talking about.
Regardless of this, in day to day work it seems using some combination of
appropriate media settings and PhotoRealistic with bumped up saturation or
Auto 2.2 results in a much more usable, real world, day in day out set of
profiles for the 1280 - 5000 and 7000.
I have also tried John Wawrzonek's technique of using a Color Savvy
linearization curve. While it works well for him, I just can't get it to
work for me. No D-Max and muddy 3/4 tones.
NCA always ends up with hopelessly plugged up 3/4 tones and blacks. At least
with Gretag's Software. Maybe NCA with some kind of a limit set in levels
would be worth a try? Anyway in my testing here NCA always results in no
separation in the darkest four or five steps of a 21 step grayscale. Any
profile I make can't seem to fully resolve this problem.
Incidentally ImagePrint is working out well here for quadtone printing. This
is a recent (past week) development. I suspect ImagePrint might be a good
solution for linearizing and profiling the Epsons in color as well, as it
does address the printheads directly. Worth a look.
