Conversion of Colorsync profiles for use on PC?

[EERTMANS Nicolas <nicolas.eertmans@eurocontrol.int>]

As you probably all know, the Epson drivers for Windows only include a
generic ICM profile while the
Mac OS ones include several ColorSync profiles, one for each type of Epson
paper.

I installed the Mac OS driver for my Stylus Photo 810 on a friend's Mac and
then copied the Colorsync files to my windows machine, just adding the icm
extension.

Windows and Photoshop recognised the profiles but I do not get satisfactory
results: the Photoshop 6 soft proofing simulates a bigger tone compression
with a Photo Paper than with the Matte Paper Heavyweight (I expected the
other way round). And printing from Photoshop using the Photo Paper profile
(on Epson Photo Paper of course) results in over-saturated colors and
shadows.

Am I doing something wrong? Maybe the profiles need to be converted (MSB/LSB
issue...)? Are the Epson profiles plain crap, or is the Adobe Color Engine
inferior to the Windows one,
as someone suggested on comp.graphics.apps.photoshop?

TIA

Nicolas.
