Sorry about the calib confusion -- I haven't used the calib curves for quite a while.  

One of the major new things in 2.3 is more shared code between Mac and PC.

Anyway the calib profiles were one of the harder things to explain and the 
source of more confusion than they were worth.   So one of the things 
that was added a while ago on the PC side was to just select the Calibration 
Mode and leave the curves as None.  Then the Blend value is essentially the 
ink limit used for all the inks.   (you can think of it as Curve1 = 100% and 
Curve2 = 0% and blend as before). 

This feature was also ported back to Mac a while ago but with 2.3 the calib
profiles disappeared altogether.  The new way is so much easier the old
calib files don't seem to me to be needed.
