In general I've found that the same PS curves are close enough to be  
linearized with all matte papers. So, you generally just have to print a  21-step 
with the curve on a new paper, read the test strip, and drop it and  the 
curve (on the special rgb file) into Create ICC.

Note that here I'm  talking about the monotone inksets. The complex curves 
to control colors on,  for example, UT7, often do not create even color 
tones on different paper  coatings.
