It's really easy. Calibrate your monitor. Set the icc profile in 'proof setup' to the icc of the paper you are using. Use 'Relative Colorimetric' as the method and have 'black point compensation' unchecked. Choose 'proof colors' before printing Make changes based on what you see In the 'print with preview' dialog drop down the 'advanced options' box In Color Management set 'source space' to 'proof setup' ie the ICC of the paper you are using. Set 'output space' to same as source. In the epson driver turn all color management off. That's it.
