If you converted directly to an accurate CMYK profile for a RIP to the Epson,
then it would contain all the colors that could translated to that printer
from RGB. Its the conversion to *press* CMYK that is the problem, as that
space is much more limited. Unless you intent to proof the press on the
inkjet, there is no reason to be crushing your file into SWOP.
