You are making the assumption that the Velvet Fine Art media setting is the 
optimal one for profiling VFA paper... which may not be the case. Try running 
media setting checks with other settings, and see if you can find one with 
better dark-end characteristics. Just because a setting works well with Epson's 
profiles or configurations doesn't mean it will necessarily be optimal for raw 
prints for custom profiling.
