Hi Glenn, I didn't see your posts here until now. The only reason
you'd need a profile is if you were switching to a full color set of
inks. You should be able to just swap in the Gen4 black and continue
printing. I'm sure there will be some small differences but the curves
should still work. I think Jerry has been doing this.
Most people working with the VM ink, or any other quad sets using the
Epson RGB driver are not using output profiles.
