I would suggest leaving your source and workingspaces alone, and simply
editing your output profile to account for tungsten lighting. This won't
eliminate the "metamerism" that makes them look different under different
light
sources, but it will make them look the way you want under tungsten. The
amount of
adjustment will be different for the more problematic 9500 inks (which tend to
balance for tungsten automatically), then for the 10600, which are less
metameric, but which have a native balance closer to daylight.
