However, comparing both print and print preview (I did it with Colour
Confidence RGB Media Evaluation Chart, in AdobeRGB1998) obtained with
the corresponding epson profile discovered some significant differences
in the blues: These printed with the argyll profile show some pink huey,
these of the epson profile are more clean and saturated. Some smaller
differences in the greens are visible, too.

I compared these test prints with another one 2 years ago printed with
the R2400 and a profile created with Argyll (1.2.1):
The blues are between the blues of the two R3880 profiles under discussion.

What are the reasons?

Hi,
        there is not enough information to know. Since you did not
create a profile with gamut mapping, you can only be using colorimetric
reproduction, so the the fit of the data points to the profile is about
the main metric. What is the fit of the data points (average, max) for
the old and new profiles ? (ie. profcheck output).
