In my opinion I would not consider fine are on any solvent other than the Epson. I have done fine art printing for yeas on Epson aqueous and the Epson solvents is the closest I've seen to the quality of aqueous. That said, if your doing fine art aqueous is the best choice. Brand of rip can also make a huge difference, even when both are profiled for the same paper by the same operator... As far as profiling monitors I'm on the side of waste of time and money if you really know what your doing. You should really view your colors by the numbers and not how the look on a monitor, even is it's profiled. I also come from the offset prepress world and have worked on profiled and none profiled monitors and saw no benefit from it if you know your colors and work with the percentages of inks in the colors. You must also consider the a roll media you buy today may print a little different than a roll you bought 3 months ago.
