What you are trying to do is much the same as vendors did in the days
before modularized device profiles came around. There was no
reference color space for device independence, only device link-type
conversions from one piece of OEM equipment to another. The
conversions were prebuilt manually by vendor engineers who tweaked
curves and watched out for interdependencies. These days there's a
better way -:).
Use a good ICC print profiler, a spectrophotometer, and a good ICC
color server like iQueue 140, AutoFlow if it supports your workflow
needs, anything but manual, non-reproducible curve edits.
