There are slight differences in the RGB > CMYK conversion engines between
one model of a printer when compared to another. Slight, but not really
significant. True gamut limits are dependent on the type of ink and paper
used.

Control (ie: mapping) of colour gamut is entirely dependent upon making a
custom colour profile for a specific printer/ink/paper combination.

This is called The Holy Grail:)

You need a custom colour profile <G>
