Sonny,

Apart from increasing the gamut of the R1800 to 98% of what the printer is 
theoretically capable of (instead of the more usual 80%), Epson have added a 
setting that allows the use of images in Adobe98 without needing icc 
profiles.

You select Same as Source (or Printer Color Management?) in the PS dialog, 
and then select ColorControls/AdobeRGB in the Epson driver.

All explained in the following article from Epson -
