Further, it seems to me that, if the application is critical enough that
changing those parameters is enough to invalidate a profile for that particular
use...then the Epson-supplied profiles themselves probably aren't what's
desired.
The profiles that vendors supply are typically intended to make the printers
look good, which is not the same as creating a colorimetric match fine-tuned to
whatever is most critical to you (neutrals, shadows, skin tones, whatever).
But that's largely adequate. Some simple test prints can demonstrate if the
results meet whatever standards are desired. As the Duke would have put it, "If
it looks good, it *IS* good!" And if it doesn't look good, _that's_ the time to
start with the knob-fiddling.
It's a lesson I'm still desperately trying to learn...don't fiddle the damn
knobs unless you know what the goddamned hell you're doing. (Alas, about the
only way to learn what you're doing is to fiddle the knobs and thereby screw
everything up royally....)
Cheers,
