Hi,
that test chart seems suspect. It has no embedded profile, and assuming
either sRGB or AdobeRGB space, the patches that are expected to be blue (ie. the
colorChecker blue) is very purple, and it looks somewhat dark.
So it's possible that the Argyll print is representing it more accurately than
the other prints. I'd suggest using some different images, and doing a
subjective
comparison to the images appearance on a profiled display, even though that
approach has it's limitations (ie. different viewing conditions and white points
typically making side by side comparisons impossible).
