For my understanding with the above procedure printcal should match
the curves of the target printer although they are not linear but curved.

Hi,
        as Nikolay says, this isn't the purpose of printcal. It's
designed to set a linearisation and then maintain it. You can
only get two printers to match by matching their targets (tricky
to do, since the normal target is set as % of device), or
by calibrating one and then using the resulting .cal file
to recalibrate the other.

You can control the overall curve shape somewhat using the -t option when
setting the target.
