Doubtless all true.  I will have to use the 1400 more in order either to
destroy it and "need" a new photo printer or learn to make it succumb to
my wishes to the extent possible.  So having not yet broken it in the
last day, I have been pretty impressed with the profiles that came with
the printer for Epson's Luster paper.  I am getting a straight print
which is sort of "bromide" looking, but without metamerism.  I can work
with it.

I seem to have successfully worked out a curves action which gives the
print image a selenium-toned look.  I am quite excited about it.

The most immediate disappointment is that the blacks don't quite
resemble wet photographic paper blacks.
