The error which needs to be compensated is always the difference between the actually measured values of the target patches (printed with the either the original or with the last, previously refined profile) and their corresponding reference values. And if the measured values differ significantly from the reference, then this simply implies that the B2A table of the original (or the previously refined) profile is inaccurate, or that the printer's behavior has drifted significantly since the previous refinement, and the newly established correction profile will attempt to fix this (at least partially; it may take several refinement rounds until convergence). Yes, I know, but I did not expect the differences to be that big from the first iteration. Btw, are the colors you're complaining about actually in-gamut on the proof printer (or on the used paper)? There is of course no way to fix out-of-gamut colors. I am just worried about the WP( CMYK 0,0,0,0 ) and the Yellow 100%. Regarding other patches, some of them are actually in the target that was used to create the printer profile in the first step. Thanks, Marcel
