Hi ! It is a scanner made profile perhaps that makes the trouble. I tried to compress the profile, but both gmail and freelist stopped it. Here, the grey step dont seems to have any ifluence for this. ------------ targen -v -d4 -g 10 -c sRGB_nobscl_032_D88_100224_00_Lidl_A4_PP_cmyk_LY.icm -f250 tg_A4_LidlP_250 CMYK test chart Compostie Grey steps = 10 Full spread patches = 250 Ink limit = 311.3% (underlying 311.3%) Adaptation weights: Device = 0.350, Perceptual = 0.650, Curvature = 1.000 Perceptual cache resolution = 7 Acceleration grid res = 4 There are 10 unique fixed points to add (13 non-unique) There are 237 far spread points to add Added 247/247 After seeding points: MinPoint = 4.982, Min = 2.659, Avg. = 23.810, Max = 31.130, 6.8 secs Re-seeding It 1: Maxmv = 0.227101, MinPoint = 9.521, Min = 4.087, Avg. = 24.681, Max = 33.883, 1.2 secs.
