I have an Epson 4000 and a 9800. Had a 5000 and 3000 prior to this (not
counting inexpensive desktop printers).
I don't know if this covers your situation but the following is my
experience:
1. I am capable of making my own profiles which I usually do. However, for
most purposes I get excellent results on both printers either letting the
printer driver control the color ("printer color management" in Photoshop)
or by using one of the downloadable Epson profiles. They are a lot better
than they used to be.
2. You must use the exact paper that the profile was made for and use the
driver settings the profile was made for.
3. Why do you need a rip? It just complicates life. I print directly from
Photoshop and Quark without a rip (if you can stand some odd kerning once in
a while in Quark).
4. An alternative to a rip and the odd kerning is to create a pdf file in an
application such as Quark, rasterize it in Photoshop (just open it and
specify the resolution) and then you have all the Photoshop controls over
the printing.
