Hi,

Some clarifications:

The Epsons, which models and what are platform are your printing on. ?

Some Epsons, the pro level proofers for example, are true CMYK 
printers, often with their own color management/calibration app.

Others expect RGB data and do the RGB >CMYK conversion in their 
driver/firmware.

If you have 'canned' profiles which came with your Windows or Mac 
driver disk, those might work OK.
