No contest Graeme. No Challenge. You are right. I have read both printers are built like tanks. The R1800 does print to printable CDs and DVDs. The R2400 does not.
Aside from that, the inkset, being different, I think, is the culprit. Even for profiling. I was under the impression I could profile a stick of gum/printer/inkset combination if it was wide enough (just joking).
Help me here, Graeme, and anyone else. The poor image shows up, on screen, when the custom profile is used. And, the image prints the way it looks on the monitor. (Diamond Pro 2060u) So, the profile is screwy. I just remembered this. It has been a while since I have worked with this client's original art.
I did profile using i1 Pro with i1 Match 3.x. Most of the client's images printed perfectly and viewed fine on the monitor. But three images looked like what they printed like.
You know what? I admit, I have no idea what was going on.
Best Regards,

For my purposes, custom profiling two different uncoated note card stocks, the Epson R1800 just did not work. It gave the results I noted in my previous writing. I just did not have the knowledge to do better, nor the support of Epson, because they would only support Epson printing stock. I had excellent, salable product using the Epson R320 (never purchased for this purpose) and of course the R2400. I also custom profile the Epson Stylus 980, with salable results, but could not use it because the thick note card stock would not feed easily.
Of course the funny thing is that the R2400 is exactly the same machine mechanically as the R1800, it's just loaded with different ink (Ultrachrome3).
