Marnie, I too am thinking about the 1800. A friend has one that he really likes as well. Last evening our camera club had a meeting, and one of the members was discussing a recent problem he is having with his older 1800 (2 yrs old). It refuses to recognize 8.5x11 paper all of a sudden. Apparantly this has been an ongoing problem common to the 1800 series. I would be curious as to your ongoing experience with the printer. As to profiles, I can't help, but I use a R220 that I am very pleased with. The only profile I use is the Adobe RGB that I have the istDL set to. In the printer menu I always select best photo, Digital Camera Correction. Most of the time it comes darn close to what I see on the screen. I know those aren't profiles per se, but I have found the printer to operate very nicely. Much better than what I get at the local photo outlets.
