So can I assume you simply did a CMYK to RGB conversion and sent the files

Yup. Press CMYK to Epson RGB with Abscol rendering, Advanced settings
set to No Color Adjustment.
If so, maybe I can publicly admit
that this is exactly the approach I've found works the best 9 times out of
10 for me.
You can admit it to me, anyway.
I have some RIPs with which I can send CMYK directly to the Epson
and I realize there are some advantages to being able to control the printer
from an ink level including black.
I remain to be convinced of said advantages. Every RIP I've tried
seem to offer one of two things:
Control at the ink level, at the cost of screening that looks like
sandpaper, or
Epson's pretty screening, and a hidden CMYK to RGB conversion that
makes the appearance of ink control illusory.
But a simple CMYK to RGB conversion seems
to produce the best matching I've seen so far compared to two Mac based
RIP's I have that drive the small Epson's. Its also the easiest and fastest
way to do the job.
Totally agree.
