Regarding a number of items about Epson 2100/2200/7600/9600:
1. I agree the gray balancer is worthless.
2. My experience is that genuine Epson ink cartridges appear to come with a
chip that identifies the ink batch - it identifies this when loaded. I tried
"guaranteed compatible" Epson 2200 cartridges, and they are the worst.
On going back to Epson mfg. cartridges, I was amazed to see my gray balances
come back perfectly with the Epson supplied profiles. The gray balance out
of the box is BETTER that what I can achieve on positive feedback devices,
such as the Lambda, LVT, etc.
So far I have not been able to beat the quality of the Epson supplied
profiles, using GM Profiler4.15. I suspect it has to do with the chip that
identifies the ink batch.
However, there are so many choices in the print driver that one can go nuts
trying them all. I am using the ICM setting, with default Epson profiles,
relative intent, and getting great results.
I also have the Epson Pro Stylus RIP, with somewhat useful results (no
queues are available, one has to change setting for each paper type, etc),
but it provides yet
ANOTHER set of choices for profiles!
