I'm not minding the results on matte, the color matching is really that is a pain.
I'm still using stock inks.. I haven't taken the plunge with ordering my refillable
carts from cobra yet.
I'm getting two totally different results between my linux workstation and my OSX box.
I haven't tried on windows yet.
it seems that I'm having the most problems matching pinks.
Everything else is acceptable.
Color matching is going to be a pain...remember, you are using a low
end/low cost printer. Even re-printing a file in a few months you may
not get the same color shades. This printer is not meant for production
printing. If I print 100 sheets, I have to watch carefully for ink banding,
printhead alignment issues and color shifting....every 20 sheets or so.
With my WF1100 I find that as the ink counters in the printer software
get closer to "replace" time (even with CIS installed) the quality of the
prints suffer.
And, yes, take any file from one printer to another, one system to
another, or one program to another...you will get different color shades.
Sorry, this doesn't solve your problem but maybe you're expecting
too much from this printer.
