I kind of caught the end of this... Are you saying you take a CMYK file and convert
its profile to the Epson's RGB profile say in PhotoShop's "Convert to Profile" command
before sending it to the printer for a proof? Does this work with any Epson with RIP
or not? I assume you turn off the color management option in the print dialog.
