>>I built a profile for Epson Ultra Presentation Matte paper with the  
720 colour/b&w targets. In Soft Proof, the on-screen represenation is  
flat, no contrast. The colors seem okay, no contrast compared to when  
Soft Proof box is un-ticked.

As you note this is true of canned matte profiles as well; but you can  
tune this in our custom profiles. It's due to multiple factors, but I  
think the one most noticable is the softproof black. It is being  
raised above absolute black, but on screen it's raised above screen  
black, which is not absolute.

So you can lower the L* value of the softproof black in our  
SpyderProof Edit screen, to get a tighter match. White can be tweaked  
as well.
