I see that your patches, after this converssion, haven't a regular color. For
exampl, if I analize the yellow color patch with Ps, the information of each
pixel varies. A pixel has a Lab 243,222,88 and the pixel that limites has a
value 242.221,87 [Lab]. This not occurs when resizing with Ps. All the pixels,
of a same color patch, have the same Lab value.I've didn't use ImageMagic for
preparing Test4.tif. This pixel difference is due to enabled dithering in
printtarg.

you think that's important to use the -D option when create the TIFF
file?The spatial dithering allows to print arbitrary RGB values, not only
INTEGER 0..255, for example, You had to round RGB values from xicclu -fb or
-fif to closest integer. With dithering enabled, the dithering algorithm will
mix-up the pixels of different but closest values to obtain desirable
intermediate value with higher tolerance. You can use 16-bit raster images, but
when printing they will be re-quantized down to 8 bit with dithering by
Photoshop or another SW. I'm enabling the dithering almost always if I use
8-bit images. I want not to loss intermediate device values.
