Nick, I occassionally print Ralph Gibson style grainy 35mm images, and have encountered many of the problems you 
mention. It's not only the severe separations that are the problem, but the Epson driver simply averaging out the detail in 
that grain.
If you are playing with doing your own separation methods, I've gotten best results by letting the darker inks come much 
farther up the scale than normal, but not really much more of the black ink.
All of John Brownlow's advice makes sense too. Particularly print size, additional sharpening work for me too.
