Ben,
There's us and there's Joe Everybody. For Joe Everybody the "Printer
Manages Colors" setting with a "pro" Epson is nowadays pretty good provided
you use a supported paper. I assume it works by hardwiring the driver to
use some well defined color engine and Epson's profiles. At the very least
it gives Joe User a decent reference print that allows him to see whether
the profiled printing pathway is working correctly with his software.As
regards the density, I think Epson have a utility which allows you to
calibrate these pro printers to a factory standard, so that the standard
profiles are good.
