Print Tao is primarily an interface that provides useful production
tools, but uses the OEM screening to print. So it's not going to make
good use of N channel profiles irrelevant of having a CMYK+ printer.
After putting years into a 9900, Ergosoft RIP with individual channel
control, both it's GPS N channel profiler and i1 Publishes N channel
options, I have to give credit to the RGB to individual ink channel LUTs
and screening in the black box Epson driver. The N channel approach for
fine art photo inkjet was useful for niche processes, but standard color
printing on quality inkjet coated media, the complexities of the process
and the lack of superior results over the OEM screening, after years of
tinkering, left me mostly with more gray hair. I don't recommend it
unless doing unusual work, the Roland Davinci was a similar setup, and
you can drive n channel HPs and Canons with that RIP (and others I'm
sure) as well. I was totally committed to the idea that expert user
control over everything about how the ink went down should yield
superior results, and blew years and dollars on it. There seems to be a
fundamental difference between the way a profile conversion builds new
channels, based on years of color management practices carried over from
CMYK work, and the way contemporary printer drivers build ink channels
from RGB input, that was my conclusion...
Bottom line for you though, without a full featured RIP you can't make
use of multichannel control and profiling.

My question is, can I use multi color .icc profiles with my workflow….and how? Printer is the Epson Pro 9900, printer software is LSI’s Printao 8. And I also print with LR 6.3 stand alone.
I profiles with i1 Profiler and i1Pro version D. 1155 patches for paper profiling.
