I am a little confused... Are there SPOT colors in the artwork you are trying to hit on the iGen? If so, why not use the iGen's PMS matching. It gives you much more flexibility without mucking around with TRCs and all of the output intents. You should just be able to set 1 output intent, and adjust your PMS colors as needed. Just watch out- TRCs change your PMS colors for some stupid reason.

What is your front end for the iGen? I used a DocuSP front end and tried to match color on press. I found the best way was to embed every image in a PDF with our press profile and then use only 1 output intent. We just built a TRC to get it close and we were pretty accurate. Depending on the file, we had to modify the TRC occasionally, but I would say that 85% of the time we were close enough to the press to satisfy the customer.
