Like tell them, thell them again, and tell them once more -:).
OK, I'll run it again.
Set up a stable, linear studio inkjet to reproduce the largest gamut
it is capable of, and use the full gamut presentation print to judge
color rather than turning to your monitor as the real arbitor (which
it is not). If you are concerned about the impact of perceptual gamut
mapping on the presentation print, then use Relative Colorimetric
with Black Point Compensation (and for pete's sake don't have BPC
enabled when proofing).
The lightness range of a good inkjet paper is L 97 to L 5 or so, and
the saturation range is not slimline either. So the color managed
print is the largest portable gamut you have.
If the printer is stable, then discussions of remote proofing (two
printers produce the same proof at different sites) and discussions
of canned profiles versus custom profiles all begin to make sense.
But no stability, no discussion.
