Thanks for that. It's reassuring.

Yes, same here. I noticed that on the pages where I used Gloss
Optimiser they took an very long time to print and came out looking
quite wet and the paper crinkled over the printed area, even in the
white areas. I thought that was not good, that maybe the Optimiser was
a waste of both time and money.
I called the Epson tech help desk here in NZ and he had not heard of
Optimiser resulting in damp pages, and he suggested it might be a
driver issue (I said I was using a linux driver). I was to try the
printer on a mac/win using their supplied driver. and see if the
problem repeats.
I've decided not to tick the Gloss Optimiser box.
