The base linearization is used as the foundation upon which to build colour calibration and profiling, performed in subsequent steps. This saves you ink, stops your paper from buckling with moisture and helps to define the maximum gamut supported by the paper. This first step was meant to eliminate oversaturating your print media. And though one can't really control for atmospheric conditions (relative humidity etc), I'm pretty sure these also have an effect on the process.

The combination I saw demonstrated at school (RIP by BEST Color - now owned by EFI- with a GretagMacbeth Eye One) used profiling routines that started with a 'base linearization' which was a process to find the ink limits for the particular printer, media, ink set combination. It might be time for you to invest in a real RIP and spectrophotometer. From what I can figure out of your answer you are not using a RIP and calibration hardware to calibrate your workflow.
