You could build RGB profiles for ImagePrint with the combo you own, and let
ImagePrint take care of the linearization etc... its just CMYK profiles that
ImagePrint isn't really set up for you to build yourself. Consider it a really
good, prelinearized RGB driver, and profile as such.

Correct, but with an appropriate medi settings, and perhaps an adjustment to
the ink controls in the Epson driver, you should be fine for about any media
the printer is compatible with.

No reason it won't work as well there. Start with that, and move to more
complex, more expensive solutions only if you need to.
