When the neutralizing ink is the very lightfast neutral HP ink, we're probably seeing about as good as it gets with today's systems.  UT14 neutralizing inks would be a bit more neutral but also a bit less lightfast.  The ramp isn't perfect, but it's rather good for no profile.  This could be printed by any application that can utilize the Epson driver's Color Controls mode (which seems to be a problem with some of the latest iterations of our software).
