Through the icclu I get pretty similar results MacBookPro:~ fabrizio$ icclu -s100 STS_test.icc 0 0 0 0 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 [CMYK] -> Lut -> 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 [CMYK] 0 0 0 10 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 10.000000 [CMYK] -> Lut -> 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 4.947585 [CMYK] 0 0 0 50 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 50.000000 [CMYK] -> Lut -> 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 40.137331 [CMYK] 0 0 0 100 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 100.000000 [CMYK] -> Lut -> 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 99.206531 [CMYK] It seems that something is wrong with the DVLP conversion performed with Callas.
