My concern is that i know that making a generic CMYK isn't the ideal
solution.
Since i don't have any answer from the printer, my original question
was: "is
there a better/safer CMYK to use when you have no information".

One option that may help (it has been somewhat useful to me in the
past) is to ask the client if they can supply you with an image file
(or a few files) that were printed--perhaps with the same printer--and
that they were happy with the results. If not that, then at least an
image was printed and that they were happy with the results.

The idea to compare "reference images " thrue a complete process is very interesting but there are probably too many parameters that may change to be sure the 'next' process will be identical, i am affraid.
i could try ...
You can then soft-proof that image with various types of CMYK profiles
to at least find a profile that will ballpark the results. Not ideal,
not guaranteed, but it may help a little when there is nothing else to
go on and the clients are non-color management savvy.

Food for thought.
