It depends on which profiles you're looking at.  For 1400 black only they are QTR profiles where QTR is needed.  It is shareware that you pay $50 for if you use it, downloading and testing is free.

For the QTR profiles, you need to open them in QTR's Curve Creator and save them to generate the *.quad files that are needed.  Each QTR profile actually has 2 different files.

If the profiles you're looking at have ICC extensions, for example as used by the UT14 inkset, then you don't need QTR.  Just insert them in the Photoshop print preview.
