I remember, at the PPA digital cafe in 2000, the Epson prints on display, 
made with the 9500 or 2000P with archival inks all had tungsten lights on them on 
the easel. Methinks Paul is correct. When I made canvas prints from the 9500 
OEM Archival inks, they looked best in Tungsten light with the canned profiles 
from Epson.
