For me, MPHW, seems to be the easiest of the Epson papers to profile.
I've had some seemingly very good profiles made for my Epson 1280 by Jack
Clark and his ProfileMaker/Spectrolino combination. The test prints of
the PDI image reproduce well with these profiles, but when printing
real-life images with deep shadow detail I'm getting extreme
posterization in these tones on the PGPP and the semi-gloss.
We generated these profiles according to the THEN list-endorsed "no color
adjustment" printer set-up routine, but now it seems that optimal
settings for print profiling need to be arrived at by piggly-wiggly,
trial and error experimentation with random combinations of the confusing
array of Epson print driver controls.
To me, this sounds like the scenario that ColorSync was intended to
prevent.

Are you sure that's not bronzing where the black ink tends to lie on
the surface of the paper leaving a residue that appears
posterized...?? I found the MPHW paper to work great with many
different inks, but when I tried some other papers bronzing occurred
in the darker areas...It looks like a posterized effect. Coatings on
some papers seem to cause this problem.
