I would be willing to run a profile for the OP using Monaco Profiler
to see if he likes it better.
Hi,
I'm not sure what you mean? What is OP?
I used an Argyll profile for all *my own* printed work for a year and
liked it, but that was an old Argyll.
Gamut mappings will only improve if people actually provide feedback
about their likes and dislikes.

I came to ArgyllCMS since both the profiles created with EFI and EyeOne
SW as well as the Epson profiles were not really satisfying.
I used Argyll for all of my color prints with the R2400 for more then 2
years and was always satisfied. Profiles were created with version 1.2.1
or below.
For me, most important are predictable prints rather than maintaining
"true" colors from sensor to display or print. And this I got both for
profiles created with the actual (R3880) and older Argyll versions
(R2400) as well as for the original R3880 Epson profile. So, in my eyes,
they are all very good profiles.
The different blue interpretation in the argyll and the epson profiles
for the R3880 I recognized from a test image. This contains 2 BW images
and 2 color images with mainly skin tones as well as some color ramps.
For the BW and color images no significant differences for the prints
done with both the Epson and Argyll profiles were detectable. The
different blues I recognized from the color ramps. So I just compared
(on screen) a real world photo with dominating sky blue - and I was very
surpized: The proof with the Argyll CMS did change the color impression
only marginal while the proof with the Epson profile more significantly
changed the appearance. With this in mind, I see the Argyll profile on
the top.
So it seems to be that Epson applied some adjustments to improve the
reproduction of blues accordingly to a common "taste"?
Best regards
Uli
