The separation issue is not one that is usually mentioned when folks ask about the comparison of the Epson drivers/profiles to the althernate processes/RIP's.  Good point.  One that should be pointed out more often.

BTW while any of the Roark/MIS Carbons methods will give an excellent

R800, 4000, 7600 and most Epson driver printers that use Ultrachrome inks do not 
fare well in tonal separation in areas below 90% K. Whereas all the Carbon 
Quads easily separate 1% incremental values from Dmin to 
Dmax................without mentioning potential metamerism and color shifts over time. It just 
depends on your market and the convenience factor. For many a reasonable neutral 
print from vanilla Epson drivers, canned profiles, and UC inks, is just 
fine, but probably not for this group.
