Epson Printers gamut information

Hello,
I'm creating a color profile on Epson Photo Quality paper (matte) and I am
very disappointed by the Epson SP R800, which has a very tight gamut. On the
same paper, my old Epson SP 950 had a gamut much larger !!!!!

Maybe is it because of the new pigment-based ink used on the R800..

I have seen the Epson R300/R320/R200/R220 models use dye-based ink, does
anyone have created profiles on such printers, using matte paper?
Because I would like to know how are their gamut comparated with the R800
and the 950 (on matte paper, not photo paper)..

Thank you very much in advance.
Bob.

Re: Color depth
... That's the Epson R3880 brochure, but while it's making claims about gamut exceeding what conventional wet-process prints could achieve (Something Epson printers have been able to do for a decade) and mentions the extended Gamut, I can't see anything claiming "105% of sRGB, 99% of prophotoRGB" or whatever. ...

You could hand pick a range of sRGB colours in the middle of the the out of gamut areas highlighted in the images I posted, and the printer won't be able to achieve them, regardless of what he says. ... sRGB is for additive colour, printers use subtractive colour, you'd need a very large palette of ink colours to be able to match or beat a screen. ...
