Hello Graeme.
Thank you, once more, for your reply.
Yes. Some days ago I made a profile using the prophoto.icc instead of the
Adobergb.icc and I see some differences but not important.
Now I am making a profile using the sRGB_IEC61966-2-1.icc, to check if ther
are changes on the intensity of blue color.
Also I have profiled, with your soft, my Canon MP540 and I am letting to dry
the patches printed with a different ink with a very neutral black ink.
Only to test, and to learn, I have made the same profile with the option -q
m, and later with the -q h and -q u option. The results are a surprise for
me. I will show you a comparison with PS CS6 softproof.
I prefer to show you, at the same time, the results of the MP540, the
pro9000MKII with another ink, and the results of creating a profile with
different -q options.
Thank you for your help.
Best Regards,
Xavi.

Note another difference between these intents: The perceptual intent is
gamut mapped for Adobe1998. This means that it is allowing space for a pure
Adobe1998 blue to be mapped within the gamut of the output device. I suspect
that the profile you are comparing it with is not actually doing source to
destination gamut mapping for its perceptual intent, and therefore is not
compressing the saturation of the blue sufficiently to accommodate a pure
blue input, and hence for less saturated input values, is producing a more
saturated output.
