Hi Robert,

If you are using standard Epson paper and ink it won't hurt to try 
the Epson "media specific" profiles that can be downloaded from a 
link on the following page:

<http://www.computer-darkroom.com/media_profiles/media_print_1.htm>

The link is about halfway down the page and the profiles should be 
used with a setting of "no color adjustments" in the print 
driver.  The article talks a lot about using the profiles on a Mac 
but they also work equally well on a Windows PC. I only remember 
trying the matt heavyweight profile but I found the colors from that 
profile to be acceptable to me.

Later,
Johnny
