Embedding profiles on all images I sent to the iGen helped with color consistency across the board. The other benefit was we had was the files we were feeding into the iGen were color managed as if they we were going to use them to generate proofs for press. This meant that our press profiles were used when the DocUSP converted to iGenCMYK for output- more accurate conversions. Feeding accurate/consistent files to your iGen (like everything else) makes it much easier to control and troubleshoot.

In your case though, since you don't have the profile (or the press to build a profile from), you are probably going to be stuck adjusting TRCs until you get the files right. You could try setting up a queue on iGen controller (Fiery/DocUSP etc.) with one set of settings, and just run EVERY job to that; at least you you would be doing the same thing every time. For anything too far out of whack, build a custom TRC...
