Given the location and users involved, just set up the Fiery (there is not
best way, only a seried of approximations) and leave it at that. If you have
a few knowledgable users with very demanding expectations, then yes, shutting
off color management in the Fiery, and building your own profiles for the
printer might be justified. But it won't end up as push button printing for
everybody on the network, which is the main justification of the Fierys.
