 I use the Bowhaus RIP profile on my epson 2400 that uses only PK, LK, and LLK inks.  The 
prints have a warm green tint to them , but they show well under the lights.  I took some 
prints to a Print NIght (a Sarcramento CA Photo group; http://www.viewpointgallery.org), 
where they have gallery lights and I was quite surprised how well the prints showed under 
the lights.
