The color space is dead on. If I use profiles supplied by others (for instance Ilford) for 
Epson ink, the Cone Color inks work without a hitch.

I switched to the CIS because the Epson cartridges were always running out. It's nice to 
have an ink supply that lasts for a while, and it's nice to know that I can use any paper that 
is profiled for Epson inks: I know they'll work with this ink set.
