IsoCoated as a printer target might be a good choice for an unspecific 
offset profile,
there are ISO profiles available for different paper, paper colors and 
print methods.

If you you want to prevent colors from converting you should use 
pdf/X-3, but you
still need a color target to be included.
For both ways you should have a chance to visually review the output, 
before
printing.
