5000k is quite yellow for use with moderately dim ambient; 5800k would  
be a much more reasonable choice. Instead of hardwiring your display  
calibration to one particular paper, it's much more practical to use  
softproofing to emulate paper white for assorted media as needed. You  
can then tune the tint of the softproof white in your Syder3Print SR  
profiles, to optimize the match.

Unfortunately Lightroom does not offer softproofing; you would have to  
use Photoshop for that, until Lightroom corrects this omission.
