Digital BW, The Print

I've installed QTR and am amazed that it could be that simple to get a 
neutral prints after struggling so long. I'd like to use a watercolor 
paper with it however - how can I get a profile for Epson Watercolor? 
Also, I like the way the image looks on Epson Enhanced Matte, but would 
like a "sturdier" paper. Any suggestions?

Thanks for all the responses from this group - what a great resource.
