Hello Alexey,

I´ve allready tried smoothing in PO (value = 10, max). My results
basically stayed the same -aldough the dot gain curves looked quite
nice & harmonic. The major problem was the separation. It was full of
bumps, especially in the black channel.

I´m quite aware that this problem can be partially solved using
PrintOpen -but the profiles are IMHO far from being optimal. My idea
behind this posting was something like "pushing the limits of argyll",
since the print you evaluated ist almost a common condition in the
packaging field.

Thank´s for reply anyway.

Vladimir
