Re: Have I got this totally wrong...?

Andy,

QTR can print with ANY ink you can fit into your printer.  The 
program basically tells each ink position how much ink to spray on 
the paper for a given lightness level, but it has no idea what inks 
you have in your printer.  So, it can work with the standard Epson 
OEM inks, a quad black inkset, or any variation you can think of.  

If the profile you used was designed for a quad inkset, you will 
definitely get weird colors with the OEM inks, because you're mixing 
apples with oranges.  So the key is to use a profile that was 
designed for a specific ink and paper combination, then use the paper 
and inkset that matches.
