I have not tried adjusting the L value with your software, but I surely will.
What I was suggesting (L* adjustment in Ref Black) will only effect the softproof's black preview, not the print. Its goal is to tune the softproof closely to what you see in your printed output, under your proofing conditions.
I did try adjusting some controls with a friend that has Imageprint and the blacks came out the same as with the Epson profile. It seemed that if I pushed farther the black got a sheen that actually made it look grayer.
There you are speaking of messing with black ink density with a RIP. Yes, once the optimal black density has been reached, you can get bronzing effects that are undesirable.
This is my theorizing and regard its credibility warily. I have found there is a rather tricky learning process, that comes with the Epson matte blacks, that I have become familiar with in time. Its a fine line and it sounds like your suggestion is a fundamental way to go, that I am just beginning to understand how to do with you product, which I am very happy with, by the way.
Glad you are happy with our products; learning some advanced methods to control them may improve your satisfaction even further...
