The calibration mode is very sensitive to Color Management interfering. This is tricky to avoid in OSX and PS these days. The curve you show gives a similar straight-line of one ink. Mostly this will work but CM again may interfere and put a little curve in it -- (not nearly as bad as the calib mode). You probably can get away with it. But it you want exact no color management I have a new program called Print-Tool that allows control over color management. This is a whole new and separate application -- not completely necessary but makes things a lot more convenient.
