It has an internal sensor for liniarization
I think this is a key point.
From what I have seen (in the short time I had to play with the 20PS) the
'charts' used by the rip for the printer were for linerisation only, which
were applied on top of the rips own colour management.
There was no method of running the supplied rip with the rip's own colour
management turned off, and therefore no way of building a custom icc profile
for the paper and ink combination, and then applying it to the rip.
When the printer is used with the BEST rip (Windows version), a custom
baseline (re: linerisation) can be created, and then a custom icc profile
can be built to define the the colour space of the 'linerised' printer.
BTW - BEST have updated the Mac DE version of the rip to version 2.0 :
