Yes.

Unless you are
1. printing postscript files
2. printing graphic design stuff with embeded eps files
3. printing with In Design on the MAC  

4. looking for the fastest way to *simulate* SWOP
or other common offset/web press conditions 
with epson inks and epson papers
5. looking to control the 4 (CMYK) inks with channels
and other methods for quadtones, small gamut
or other exotica
You don't need Press Ready. (Apples)

If you want to try non-oem papers
and non-oem inks...
you need profiles... (Oranges)

Epsons?

This is...(Bananas)


Thanks.
