Just so that people don't get confused, let's be clear that creating an ICC profile DOES NOT linearize anything. It simply gives you the ability to preview your print output on screen. BUT that also depends on you having an accurately profiled monitor to view it !!

Any linearizing with this ICC approach is manual based on tweaking a PS curve and good luck with doing that accurately if your monitor is not high end and recently calibrated.

Peter,

Or, you could use the method suggested by Roy Harrington for linearizing K7 inks where you create and apply an ICC custom file over the existing .quad file. In the case of the K7 inks this would probably be simpler for some than creating a new profile from scratch.
