My 2100 driver _is_ set to no color adjustment. The dpi settings _are_ the
same. When I load the patches I load them untagged, and print "same as
source". when I print pix I stay in my document and choose my profile as prints
space.

I have just done this.
Delta E.
Average Overall 0.97, Best 90 0.27, Worst 10 2.75.
Sigma Overall 0.73 Best 90 0.33 Worst 10 0.86.
Max Overall 8.61 Best 90 1.84 Worst 10 8.61.
There seems to be a small number of patches that evidence drift over the
past 3 months. While it appears the printer was due for reprofiling
anyway -it was profiled onthe hottest day of this summer- this confirms
that my earlier troubles were clearly due to a printer driver issue.
But what about the murky prints I am getting _now_ with the profile I just
made ? I guess I have no choice but to reinstall the printer drivers and
try it all again. What a waste of time !!!!!
Thank you for your time in helping me solve this issue. I may have to
print some exhibition prints the old way - by guesswork- if I cannot get
the Epson to behave soon.
