Hi Roberto,
I know, "change your proofer", but no, the problem is the source which is the ubiquotuos (here) Matchprint.
Not the proofer, but the paper would help.
Question is, what's the best curve/formula/algorithm do to it? because linear scaling doesn't sound as the best. Maybe scaling with some perceptually linear gamma (L* is not perceptually linear, right?); or maybe in shadows we need to scale a* and b* too, to preserve the original chroma slope on the gamut edge. Maybe a scaling function that gets applied only on the ends but merges smoothly into the rest of the range. Or whatever. Suggestions?
Linear scaling is, from what I know, the best. I made research in this in my examination, and I have never seen any other document that say something else.
Also, in your special case, if you are really mapping from 95/5 to 93/7, the midtone will exactly remain 50.
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong
Rolf
