I would say it's more of a driver problem than an ink problem, since all
of the inks needed to get a perfectly neutral tone without metamerism
are already present in the printer.
The Epson driver seems to use large amounts of every color in the
printer to achieve neutral, which we all know works very poorly. The
alternative rip's and drivers will use mostly black and light black with
only tiny amounts of cyan and magenta to cool down the warm cast of the
blacks.
If you've ever made a 'neutral' print with the Epson driver with gray in
the yellow postition (I have) you'll see just how much color inks it
really uses - the print is bright purple.
