David's right - find a source who's savvy in ColorSync and profiling and
get the scans done in RGB with tagged profile, you then convert to CMYK
for prepress and cross render to the Epson for proofing. The Colorsync
list is a great place to find them (Check out Tom Moran @ Pro Color)
Another workflow - some drum scanners can scan into cieLAB space (D50,
two-degree observer) - bring that into Photoshop 5's exact same cieLAB
space (D50, two-degree observer) and do a profile to profile transform
to one of the RGB working spaces or directly into your CMYK space.
