I generally print from photoshop but just did a print from LR 2.4 I am using a Epson R 1900 my settings where the canned setting of printer managers printing, then in the print dialog I selected my paper it doesn't have the Ultra Premium Gloss so I chose Premium Gloss and for the color setting I chose in this chose Epson Standard and Photo RPM as the quality and gloss optimizer on. Looks pretty good to me and in my light in my apartment it looks a touch darker than my screen, but I have like 11 foot ceilings and that makes the apartment a little darker than most so I would have to look at in in another space or in the daytime but from expereince it will be in the day time very much like the screen. I can tell you that for me this looks very good and makes me extremely pleased with the printer. The printer just helped me get a very important client who is world renown and if he gives me more work then this thing has paid for itself 1,000 times over maybe even more than that. Hard to tell this from a photographic print might even be better. Also I want to thank you I might in the future reimport the files into LR once i save them as tiffs, since I can print multiple files in one batch. Set a batch and go do something else. This is my experience and the prints are beautiful. By the way if you print to from Illustrator you have to go to a pdf first the vector has a little problem with direct printing from Illustrator in 10.5.7. But Acrobat prints very good since the 10.5.7 update from Apple.
