Hi !
I use a simple Epson printer whit Lyson Fotonic ink and a ciss system,
and PhotoPrint as the printer driver, it use Gutenprint print driver
and has icm support, an exelent program.
( I think Gt has on outher plattforms, but not in Ms)
The print result is very god, and the printing time is some sort
of exponent of the increased printqality.
it was a little tricky to get it running on Msdos Vista, perhaps that
is ok now.

Ok. There likely will be no problem if the inks are chemically

Yes. I think it can improve the situation. I hope the Epson have a heavy
black generation with LLK and LK.
If You want achieve the printer maximums, You should think about the
RIP. The GutenPrint may be the free solution. Try to check wither Your
printer model supported or not? If yes, You can try to print by CMYK
device model with custom black generation.

After printer profiling, I recommend You to concern on this feature
(tiffgamut-collink-cctiff).
