Then you aren't looking for ICC color management, you are looking for  
something that is perhaps better described as "Kodak colors". Matching  
your non-proof image is not the goal of a printer profile. I'm happy  
for you that you have found a solution that suits your needs, but the  
goal of printer profiling is more complicated than that: its to  
produce a print that matches the softproof (and offer the controls to  
tune that match as desired), not to produce a print that matches the  
sRGB or AdogeRGB image in the raw, with no consideration of paper  
tone, ink black, or ink gamut in the on-screen display.
