I've profiled this on an Epson 4800 and done a lot of prints with it, also
as 729 patches.

What rendering intent are you soft proofing and printing through? (and
when you're soft proofing in Photoshop, you're doing this by going into
View:Proof Setup:Custom, selecting the profile and rendering intent, turning
on Preview, and leaving the other check boxes off (having the paper black
and paper white simulation on makes the soft proof visually too muddy, and your
brain adjusts well enough for those things, so I'd recommend not using them).

What light source are you viewing the prints under?

You've got the display calibrated to D65, 2.2, correct?
