Hi,
it really depends on the type of workflow you have. Some workflows
may be able to use device links (device links are ideal for proofing workflows
for instance), but it depends on the tools you have available.
If you have a CMYK printer profile, then you must have some sort of
CMYK print path. If you use the device link to convert from US web coated
to your printer (using cctiff or Photoshop etc.), then you should be
able to print it using the same settings you used when printing
the test chart you used to make the printer profile.
(ie. you use the device link to convert the image to native
printer colorspace, and then send it to the printer.)
