I too have an R1800 and so far, I been very lucky that images I see on my monitor are what gets printed. Mine is a Samsung LCD monitor and I ran two utilities that came with it: LCD Gamma and Natural Color. Did not go through the stage of comparing printout to monitor.
I have used 3 prorgams to do my image printing: Adobe Photoshop Elements 5; ThumbsPlus and Qimage. As long as I don't use Adobe I get accurate image color out of the printer.
It also helps to use papers for which you have a profile. Epson Premium Glossy (profile) also works for Kodak Professional, Ilford Printasia and probably Costco Glossy. For other surfaces, I've only used Epson papers. I always use Epson inks.
