QTR-Quadtone RIP

I have an Epson R1800 and just installed MIS UTB (3) inks.
My OS is Windows 7 64bit. I use Photoshop 64bit with Silver Efex Pro 2 to process my prints. I have been usuing the Epson inks with satisfactory results. Since I've upgraded to the MIS inks when I print a calibration test print, I tried using both the Quad R1800 and Quad R1800-3MK printing model, the 3 black inks barely show up. I also can't get a print from already processed TIF files when I drag them into Quadtone RIP.
What to do to resolve this?

That's what I generally call the 3-MK inkset.

See http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/R1800.htm for general information.

For my brief discussion of the B&W workflows using QTR, see

See also Tom Moore's "QuadToneRIP User Guide.pdf" that is included with the
download.

The profiles I wrote for the 3-MK process all start with "3MK-..."  To see
what is there, use the Curve Creator (QTR Tools > Curve Creator) and go to
the "R1800-3mk" folder.
