The Epson does a pretty good job with it's own profiles, but one thing I was interested in with ImagePrint is their Phat Black ink cartridge that you can use with both glossy and matte papers. Every time you switch the PhotoBlack and MatteBlack ink cartridges that come with the 4800, you use up lots and lots of ink. If you're printing on both surfaces like I am, it pays to use the Phat Black and not switch. I also like the split toning that you can do through ImagePrint. I don't know of a way to do split toning with the Epson profiles. It is expensive software and I read all I could about it before I got it. I'm still getting used to using it and the 4800 but I'm very happy so far. Tina Tina Manley, ASMP http://www.tinamanley.com
