Profiles that you get from other sources are most likely color ICC 
profiles for
the Epson driver unless they are explicitly labeled as either QTR ICC 
profiles
made with the QTR-Create-ICC utility or as the QTR curves/profiles for 
the
QTR driver.   These curves/profiles are what you would most like want.
You can usually tell by the extension --  .icc or icm is for ICC 
profiles,
.quad, .qidf or .txt is for QTR curves/profiles.

There aren't any H Photo Rag curves in the QTR download.  I would think 
you'd
do pretty well with the Entrada or Premier Fine Art profiles.  You must 
use some
curve otherwise the output will be very dark.
