This is a (relatively) recent Epson, the 670, using Epson carts and paper. One unusual thing is that the swatches printed extremely dark, even with the film setting, which I believe uses the least amount of ink. Other than pure white, the brightest patch had a reading of Lab(87,-4,38). 

That's disappointing then. The RGB gamut shape I get from my
Epson R1800 looks pretty good by comparison - it looks like a
printer gamut, and the black is broad and fully integrated into
the CMY gamut.
