Realize that the same single filter density values for an inkjet and
proofer will visually look different. Density is not color. Density +
inkset = color; and to some degree even density + paper + inkset = color.
Cyan is way high and yellow is low. You probably won't be able to do
anything about the yellow with Epson pigmented inks. GRACoL specifies
C1.40, M1.50, Y1.05, K1.70 for a premium gloss coated stock.

There should be a separate ink limiting function to prevent this from
happening. That way you can still have full density of a single channel,
and as long as the ink limit isn't less than 200%, you can have full
density for two color overprints red, green and blue.
