Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with reddish cast and loss of detail

System: Windows 7

Adobe CS5

Printer: Epson Stylus Photo 1400

Paper: Inkjet matte presentation paper with slight luster

Installed latest patch for Adobe CS5

Epson driver up to date

After reading solutions online and trying them for my settings for 2 days I am still unable to print what I am seeing on my screen in Adobe CS5. I calibrated my monitor, but am not sure once calibration is saved if I somehow use this setting in Photoshop’s color management.

The files I am printing are photographs of dogs with lots of detail  I digitally painted with my Wacom tablet in Photoshop CS5 and then printed with Epson Stylus 1400 on inkjet paper 20lb with slight luster.

My Printed images lose a lot of the detail & come out way to dark with a reddish cast and loss of detail when I used these settings in the printing window:

Color Handling: Photoshop manages color, Color management -ICM, OFF no color adjustment.

When I change to these settings in printer window: Color Handling:  Printer manages color.  Color management- Color Controls, 1.8 Gamma and choose Epson Standard it prints lighter, but with reddish cast and very little detail and this is the best setting I have used so far.

Based on what I have read on line, I think the issue is mainly to do with what controls are set in the Photoshop Color Settings window and the Epson Printer preferences. I have screen images attached of these windows and would appreciate knowing what you recommend I enter for each choice.

Also I am confused as to what ICM color management system to use with this printer and CS5:

• What is the best ICM to use with PS CS5 & the Epson 1400 printer? Should I use the same ICM for both?
• Do I embed the ICM I choose into the new files I create? 
• Do I view all files in the CS5 workspace in this default ICM?
• Do I set my monitor setting to the same ICM?
• If new file opens in CS5 workspace and it has a different embedded profile than my workspace, do I convert it?
• Do I set my printer, Monitor and PS CS5 color settings to the same ICM?
• Is using the same ICM for all devices what is called a consistent workflow?

I appreciate any and all advice that can be sent my way on this complicated issue. Thank you in advance for your time and kind help.
