I can't speak to the standard deviation because I can't remember what that
means; however in my experience any "pro" Epson with Epson media gives
results that are good enough for prosumer-grade fine art printing out of
the box with Epson media with "Printer Manages Colors". Of course those of
us with high-end monitors and calibration tools can and would expect
better, but for a random photographer the retouch screen in room light will
in my experience be more out of whack than the printer. And also as posted
in my link, I think some of the printers can now
Where Epson is making a mistake in my opinion is in not providing the same
out-of-factory quality for the A3 and A4 enthusiast printers where in my
experience female clients will clearly see hue changes with respect to a
calibrated screen.
