My experience in attempting to explain the process and helping others suggests that unless you are very experienced with acv curves, it's too frustrating to try.  I generally recommend people stay with the curves I've made and include in my Zip files that contain profiles for the various printer/inksets I've used.

Paul,

It is a lot of trial and error, I have always admired your skill and 
patience in that work. The more as I'm right now creating similar curves 
in Qimage for a HP K5400 Officejet loaded with HP Vivera pigment MK, PK, 
Grey and Light Grey. Using the Windows driver for that printer. Qimage's 
curve editing is more limited but on the other hand the curves can be 
used as a Qimage Printer Filter which is applied as a very last step 
before the print data is created. The image can so be kept as a 
greyscale image in the print page  preview etc. Qimage's color 
management allows me to add an extra QTR B&W profile for the smaller 
adjustments and softproof. It also gives me all the other Qimage 
Ultimate features.
