Up to now:
I performed 5 head alignments in a row before being rather happy with the result.
I performed a nozzle check where I discovered that the first line of the purple test had color fading: it started blue and ended with the correct purple color.
So I verified my magenta cart and it was...

I could post the result once at home.
Hi,
I try to be serious with my profiling in order to avoid future headaches... So I read a lot before receiving my new Epson 1500w printer.
Prior profiling the printer I profiled my screens (Samsung SynchMaster P2270 & 203B) targeting a 5800K, 100cd/m² white point using ColorEye Display...
