I have wasted maybe 100hrs mucking about with profiles and stuff on a 1200,
read shedloads, tried the various things Ian Lyons suggests, and got
nowhere. All I have to show for it is 200+ rotten test prints. Not one was
acceptable.
Apart from anything else I came to the conclusion that CM within the Epson
driver is completely broken. So Pixl or any other profiles are not likely
to help me. The 1270 may be better.
A couple of months ago I gave up with all the autopilot approaches, and set
about merely doing manual adjustments in the printer driver (CMY,
saturation, contrast). This has worked far, far better than anything else :
prints are now as close to the screen image as is possible within the
limits of a different gamut. And it's free.
