Okay for Monday morning. I'd say just cut in some transfer curves and
download them to the RIP. Normally tx curves are used for slightly
misaligned imagesetters for easy over correction AFTER calibration. This
isn't a valid long term solution.
BestColor on Windows will get you a great feature set and comparable output
but be prepared for long learning spell if you want to get to custom
profiling. The out of the box profiles get you to the level of the other
RIP's but to custom tune any RIP if at all possible is so much less fun than
drinking a Guinness. Or two.
