I was just now chiding someone for the gratuitous use of apostrophes only to discover this in my own writing below. How does this happen? Anyway, I see no further comment on this topic--is the answer so self-evident?

I shoudn't think that you'd need a RIP just because you changed the ink set, but if the colorant's are different of course you won't be able to use your old profiles. This is rather the point of an ouput proifile, after all. Be leery of inks that are "a fraction of the cost," as quality pigments (e.g., from Ciba Geigy) are very costly, and there is a limit to how cheap the inks can be. For top-quality replacement inks you should expect to pay at least half the price of the OEM inks. You may not realize your error until some months or years later, when the prints fade or discolor.
