Thanks. I had set the image to that profile during various forms of 
soft-proof, and I mistakenly put that copy of the image online.

Several people have given me the information that I need to solve the 
problem.
In summary, the image was at the very edge of usability with respect to the 
color information in it, and Epson printers behaved differently at that edge 
than did other printers. I re-made the image from the camera master, taking 
great care to do it all in 16 bit, and the problem went away.
