I think the original question referred to reducing metamerism on the
1280. Since that printer doesn't have the light black ink it would be
impossible to reduce metamerism even with a RIP. 

The print sample I have from Epson StylusRIP printed with a 2200 was
very warm. It's not clear to me whether this RIP will allow you to
adjust the tone like Imageprint does.
