Why the et-8550 isn't a pro printer & why I don't care. A new printer profile explains all

Why does the ET-8550 printer not have a setting for Premium Luster paper, but it does for Premium SemiGloss? Understanding how 'pro' products differ and the secret of what's on the back of Epson Premium SemiGloss paper. The ET-8550 ink tank printer works really well, but is not part of Epson's 'pro' range? Why might this matter to you? Creating a new profile for Epson Premium Semi Gloss paper to add to my profiles collection for the ET-8550 and ET-8500 I've profiled papers from a variety of paper suppliers, including Canon.
