Well, with the RGB workflow the linearization and ink limiting was done for you by the manufacturer. All you had to do was pick the appropriate media setting. And in general, the way you recalibrate is in fact to make a new output profile. This should have been explained earlier. The Epson 9900 is an extremely stable machine: I operate remote proofers around the world and find that they vary no more than about 1dE76 over the course of a year--so I am not surprised that you need to reprofile so seldom. That being said, certain printers do have user-accessible relinearization/re-ink limiting--The HP Z-series and Canon iPF 63/64xx printers come to mind. These are density-based calibrations of the CMYK(+N) printer output. One should do this prior to making a profile, but the reason is not so much to make a better profile but to establish a baseline that one can correct back to by recalibrating. These thermal printers do tend to drift more than the piezo printers, so there is more justification for this extra feature.
