Fred, you are not picky at all.  I usually insist on what the colors should look like compared to the original but with the colors being sooo far off I was just plain thankful this one is even in the same universe.  The image above was on Epson Vivid.  I also printed one using Epson Fix Photo which is a better color match, especially the purple shade of sky.  These being prints of drawings and paintings instead of photos (realism) I have a bit of leeway in color differences.

Affordability is the reason I'm using third party ink.  Having to work with this for now, I should let the printer decide color management and try different setting under that since that seems the most successful so far?

Mike, you're right on some paper working better then others.  Printing on Epson Ultra Premium Matte come out disastrous where as the Inkpress Luster paper is a lot more acceptable.

Fred, thank you for sharing your experience with third party inks.  Now I know what to expect and what to keep an eye on.

I truly appreciate all your input.  It has helped tremendously.
