A short answer is yes.
The P800 is a great printer for OEM QTR because as I understand it Roy has one and most reports I've seen suggest that a lot of the curves are very linear already and the neutral curves are quite neutral. People here can advise you which curves are good starting points if there isn't an existing curve for a paper you want to print on. Having said that, I just looked at the install and there doesn't seem to be a lot to choose from for the P800, so fingers crossed. Perhaps a P800 user or Roy can comment on the general applicability of those shipped curves. There were more for the 3880.
On the P800 you may find that you need to use the new 2880 Super resolution setting. Some people report banding at regular 2880, although TBH there's only one person who says this about printing on paper, most reports were from people doing digital negative on transparency, and those problems were fixed with 2880 Super.

Stock p800 with stock inks. I'd love to use the piezography inks, but it seems less than straight forward (although another poster in this thread suggested refilling actual epson cartridges, which is an intriguing approach I will have to look into).
So in general, since there are plenty of p800 profiles for stock inks, what I take your message to mean is that I could just redo the linearization by taking the profile, taking out the existing linearization, printing a step tablet from QTR, measuring it with my densiometer, and then using the linearization applet to get data to put back into the file and this then should give me something close to optimal for my personal situation? If so, then that sound A-OK to me, and very doable.
