I was alerted to the fact my name is appearing here with embarrassing frequency, so I'll chime in.
Quad profiles made for use with the Epson RGB driver are not printing profiles, you do not need them to print. They can be 
used as preview profiles, but their main benefit comes from their ability to tell us exactly what that printer/ink/paper 
combo will do, including when various edits are made. In this case it's advantage is for making the curves, that's where it is 
the most useful. It will not make curves for you, but allow you to predict more accurately what the curves are going to do. 
You still need to know the basics of quad sep curves and some idea of where you want to go with them and why.
But for those who have asked, you do not need the profile to print, it won't work for that.
Building profiles for distribution, free or otherwise, requires purchasing a special license from the software manufacturer. 
I don't have that, and as a previous beta tester for ColorVision, I would certainly be breaking a trust, as well as the law, by 
distributing profiles made from the software. Martin's license may be different, but that's mine.
Again, you don't need it to print.
