Oddy, this question has not come up in well over a year, but now (for 
some unknown reason) there is a flurry of questions about it. Sometimes 
when this occurs its one individual making himself heard in various 
ways, other times its a new situation triggering a group of users. 
Here's all I know:

We provided Epson the necessary technical documents to support the PFP 
spectro in ColorBase many months ago, and have not heard back from 
them. Alternately, it might be possible to provide a text file format 
that could be used with ColorBase without Epson's involvement, but 
given the lack of end user interest, we have never looked into this. If 
it becomes a common user request, we will certainly consider it.

I suspect that the current interest has to do with the idea that the 
3800 overinks, and that ColorBase might improve that. I can't respond 
to that, not having worked with the utility and compared its results to 
the driver controls. The driver controls tend to lose saturation when 
used to lower ink limit; a result that makes it less than satisfactory 
for reducing overinking. Perhaps ColorBase has more detailed controls 
that could avoid that, though it seems unlikely.
