Not sure what you've been reading, but you might try the simple
workflow outlined in article #9 at the link below.  It produces
excellent results, doesn't require calibration or profiles, and costs
nothing to try, so it may meet your criteria.  Article #9b deals with
using that workflow with Silver Rag paper, but it can be applied to
the Innova and EPL as well.

Regards,
Clayton
