QTR-Quadtone RIP

ok, i think i'm holding a dialogue with myself here. 

anyway, i think i've found the answer here:

JDMo2Zn_KoyYnmU9JyOifFlrLn01cjzOrGxcUKLKdS4qIjUZ8fz10U/Docs/ICC%20Info.txt

but it'd be nice to hear from someone regarding this question because i want to make sure  
that i'm on the right track. that is, i don't end up double profiling, otherwise all this 
effort to linearize and create an ICC profile would be pointless. don't you think?

it seems logical that the target shouldn't be color managed in order that my correction 
curve can be derived from this target correctly. therefore this is the step i have to get right 
before i can continue to creating an accurate ICC profile. if my correction curve is good, to 
create my ICC profile, i again print my target without color management, but using the 
corrected curve. i measure the target, and using the data file created by Measure Tool i 
use QTR-Create-ICC to generate my ICC profile. Finally, then, i'd print letting photoshop 
color manage, using perceptual for rendering intent, black point compensation, and the 
newly generated profile.

am i on the right track?

can someone confirm, please?

anyone out there?

thanks again.
