Dear Brian,
If I were you I'd ignore Epson's recommendations for monitor calibration.
Stay with your current calibration if you can. Then use the new 2200
profiles to convert from whathever RGB or CMYK source color data you have to
the new printer profiles. If you are converting using RelCol w/BPC through
the ConvertToProfile dialog bo,, then, after you pressed OK, the colors
should still look 'decent' on your screen. Is that what you're doing? Is
that how you're getting those 'horrid' colors?
