In my shop we have calibrated ICC profiles for each press, we send all jobs using these profiles, this is the color-space of our presses and what they can replicate, that is what color-management is in printing. I always chose to re-save scans with no profiles attached and let the numbers do the talking. If the color on my proof cannot be closely matched on press then we have a problem somewhere, usually press side. The problem is, is that color-management is not used by everyone, calibrating your clients monitors is their IT guys job, Good luck. Your clients would need on-site training from your company to be successful even a little bit. So "Ignore" or not sometimes your hands are tied, if you don't know what is going to happen at the other end, pray, but if you have some control in house then you have a great chance of success.
