While you can certainly do it this way, I think it's an approach that
has problems, because no profile creation software is equipped to take
on a raw device that may have severely low ink limits and very
high dot gain, as is typical of inkjets when running at high
resolution with lots of dot overlap. Some form of linearisation
and per channel ink limiting is needed before a profiler can
do a reasonable job. While such calibration can be incorporated
in a profile, this is not common.
