>>>> Driver Color Adjustment Properties > --- Mode = Automatic with all settings at zero (other options = > Photorealistic/Vivid) <<<< No follow below; Select Custom on the EPSON Stylus COLOR 1160 Properties window. Click advanced. Click No colour adjustment. You can then save the settings from that windows by clicking save. Next time you can select your settings as they appear as an option in the properties>mode window. This stops the printer driver making any colour adjustment automatically when you are trying to use a profile to correct which will be more acurate. Your profile will go in the colour folder in the windows file. Windows>System32>spool>drivers>colour for Windows 2000. Other Windows versions will be similar. Don't forget to turn on your profile by clicking in it and "install profile" once you have placed it there. Your named profile should the appear in the Print Space section list in the Print window. You will also have to experiment to see if the media type box alters your choice. Some papers look better using the setting as Photo Quality Glossy Film. I use Ilford galerie and that is best using that rather than photo quality paper setting. All the rest looks ok.
