Thanks for your reply. Well yes I use Barbieri LFP, and I use this target already for a long time. I forgott to mention that I am using brown ink in place of magenta, this is why it looks not like a cmyK printer. If I use magenta everything works fine. However I repeated the measurement and got the same result. I did a test with another media which became even a higher black point. On my opinion this should not happen although magenta is replaced with brown. All colors ti3 file with about max. ink amount (270%) show a much lower L value.
