Is the base color of your negative film orange as it is supposed to be?
That color is used as a bias (known color - all others are unknown to the
scanner). If it isn't orange, your best bet is to use ROC because the
colors in your film have shifted. It would do no good to try blank film
because such film would not have shifted colors.

I have never tried Vuescan to get to ROC. I had great success with the LS40
and Nikon Scan using ROC to solve color shift problems.
