I'm not really sure what your asking but I'll take a stab
Yes the Epson 7600 is 7 inks and the Hp 5000 is 6 inks but both inksets are
CMYK inksets. Light Cyan, Light Magenta, and Light black, even though they
are a seperate ink channels, are still taken into consideration when builing
an ICC profile since they are variations of CMYK. The profile takes into
consideration all 7 inks during profile creation so all inks are being taken
advantage of even though the profile is a CMYK profile.
It is possible to make a 6 or 7 color profile but it is only done when using
additional inks that are not a variation of CMYK (Orange and Green for
example)
A bigger issue may be what program is being use to print. Not many RIP's or
Print drivers can truly print and control 6 or 7 different ink channels.
I don't know photoprint but I would bet anything that it only handles RGB
profiles. It is certainly possible to make an RGB profile for either the
Epson or the HP with any of the profiling packages available but you would
lose control of the black channel, which is unacceptable to color critical
users.
