I have an older Epson 1270 printer, same series as the 870 I think.
Epson's profiles work well for all their papers and they produce good
results with this printer, for color prints anyway. I have printed on
Epson Premium Glossy with it with no particular problems.

So what's the recommendation for those of us using older, cheaper
Epson printers.
I've an old 870 Photo and I've ordered a MacBeth Color Checker card.
I'm going to try calibrating my monitor by eye (?!?) to the card, and
then calibrating the resultant print to the card.
What I've experienced so far is big color variations by type of
paper used.
I went out yesterday and bought some Epson Heavyweight Matte and some
Epson Archival Matte paper, but looking at the prior thread, I'm not
so sure I shouldn't have gotten glossy or semi-gloss paper. Any
advice?
