The Matte inks do not adhere effectively to many gloss and luster media. The
Photo inks do not offer as deep a black on matte and art papers as the Matte
inks. Swapping wastes a great deal of ink, with a significant price tag.

The profiles are not media types, they are printer profiles. They can be
selected in assorted places, but not in the media type selection box. The
advanced printer settings would be one choice, or the advanced settings at
the bottom of the Print with Preview window in Photoshop 7, under color
management.

problems with the "Somerset Velvet for Epson" sold by Epson?
There are a range of Somerset papers, which offer different results with
assorted ink types. This can lead to unsuccessful results with inappropriate
combinations or unreasonable expectations. The Velvet settings, profiles and
papers Epson is selling should avoid most of these pitfalls.
