Oh, OK. Using RIPs like the EFI and GMG that dispense with those options has hidden this from me for so long that I've erased them as ever having been an *issue* :)

Agreed.
Epson have already done all the hard work with their amazing screening and the complexity of laying down 10 colours.
Building on that with a simple RGB profile for a specific paper gives superb results.
Frankly, I'm still dubious that the GMG RIP is capable of matching the results of this kind of simple RGB-RGB workflow without some seriously time-consuming and expensive profile editing. The EFI Proofing RIP that we've still got knocking about here somewhere was absolutely terrible at RGB proofing when we last tried it about 4 years ago.
