This topic comes up periodically. I thought this was worth repeating.
The Epson 2200 will work well with any of the Epson Premium Papers.
1. Make sure that the Epson Printer ICC Profiles located on the Epson Install CD in the PIM folder are copied to your hard drive to the folder that has your ICC profiles: C:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\color. These ICC profiles are not automatically installed with the printer driver.
2. In Photoshop or PS Elements 2.0 in Print Preview, choose the Epson ICC Profile for the Epson Paper you are using as your OUTPUT. Your SOURCE is the color space you shot the image in, sRGB or Adobe RGB( 1998 ).
3. In the Epson printer driver, make sure you select the appropriate paper selection, and then select "No Color Management" in the ADVANCED section. This will tell the printer to use the ICC profile you told it to in Photoshop.
4. If you have calibrated you monitor, this will give you a fully color managed system. Your prints will match your monitor. Voila!
