Yikes Ed,
Sounds like your frustration with color management has boiled over. Not
sure why you haven't been successful in color managing Epson printers. I
manage 8 of them in a Mac based lab at a local community college, including
a 4000, (2) 2200's, (2) 960's and (3) 1280's and have had very few problems
obtaining consistently great output.
What sort of hardware and software have you been using in your color
management efforts? It isn't really too difficult or expensive to achieve
these days. Sounds like your "Frontier Guy" probably has a handle on it.
Perhaps he could help or recommend someone to you.

Solved my problems months ago by unplugging the Epson 1280 and plugging
in an HP 7960 (I know, water based inks, need to dry, need lamination or spray).
Emailing jpg's to my local photofinisher with a Frontier printer was the
smartest move in years, or at least for now..
Color management to me is like a pile of broken window panes, stand real
still while its working or you'll cut yourself. You clients don't care. Its
only digital, right? I mean my third grader has a scanner.
Let's just say the color management world lacks a certain self-centering
stability. Suddenly appearing and disappearing kitchen drawers in an
indifferent planet's kitchen.
The most profoundly absent thing about digital is the equivalent of an
f/stop, a timer, and a decent color analyzer.
Here is my projection: HP is about to gobble up the color output business.
Epson is going to get its teeth kicked in.
HP printers in my experience have better color management right out of the
box; I would think RIP industry people see the writing on the wall. I am
no mood to pay more for a RIP CD as I did for a printer thank you!
As for the press industry, I have no idea what you deal with, but going by
this forum, you are tremendously patient people with enormous ability to
put up with this stuff. The comments here are quite impressive to me.
Like yourself, I have run out of patience with the industry. Do it on
screen with the numbers, jpg it to the Frontier guy.
