 I need to print a number of images for a window display -all sepia-canvas gallery wraps.
 Should I be using CS5 and no color adjustments in the Epson7900 driver, and selecting  the paper profiles in Qimage to print...
Or use the Advanced B&W color controls in the 7900 driver itself allowing the driver to control and manage 'color' ?

David,
Don't know much about Photo Shop and sepia, but just asking if you tried using Qimage, and turning on the SEPIA filter in there?
Then I just print normally.

I've no experience of printing on canvas with a printer like the 7900 with specialist B&W inks and controls but I've found having a good custom profile for the paper ensures good results for mono. This is on a modest R800 that has 2 blacks, Matte & Gloss, plus 6 other cartridges.
Perhaps you can do some small test prints on the canvas and which method looks the best.
Hopefully someone with more expert experience will chime in.

I did one small print on Enhanced Matte and it came out fine.
I have read Rob Sheppards 'Complete Guide To Epson Printing' and he really likes the 'Advanced B&W mode in the printer driver for monotone. It allows you to do tweaks to the sepia tone and supposedly gives greater control of the D max.
I imagine using any of the Drivers settings overrides any profiles from other programs (kinda like manual mode on the printer),so I was wondering if anyone had actually used this method and were satisfied?
