Are you simply printing the ColorMatch RGB files through ImagePrint using
their (or you) RGB output profile? That's going to produce a nice print but
NOT match the final CMYK process. ImagePrint can do cross rendering
(simulations). You'll likely want to actually convert the file from
ColorMatch to CMYK in Photoshop, tag the file and load that into ImagePrint.
ImagePrint does allow for three way proofing but I'd still convert in
Photoshop (since you have black point compensation, ACE and so forth).
ImagePrint should recognize the embedded CMYK profile and do a conversion
from CMYK to RGB for the Epson. Be sure to set the rendering intent (in the
bitmap tab) to Absolute Colorimetric to simulate the paper white of the CMYK
process.
In order for this to work, you need two good (custom) ICC profiles. One of
course is for the CMYK final process you want to simulate on the Epson. The
other is for the Epson. If the CMYK profile is generic or not accurately
fingerprinting the process, the proof on the Epson can't possibly match
anything correctly.

I'd use the ECI2002 target.
