I personally haven't done platinum, but I have a friend that's done it many times (printing with an Epson) and the process is the same as I outlined. One additional, optional, step is to identify an ink colour that has better UV blocking characteristics than black. This isn't really necessary for the visible light processes (like lith).
As to Eric's comment, I personally would go through the process of developing my own curves since there are so many variables involved (type of lights you're using, emulsion, paper, etc.). Unless, of course, the HP profiles strictly relate to amount of ink laydown and feed rate of the transparency film.
