Hi Elena,
why "no"? I don't think that we disagree about the root cause.

I did use a device link as well.

As Graeme suggested, I did not investigate just arbitrary slices through
the whole color space, but a very small region around an actually
visible discontinuity in the soft-proof of an image (source image
created with "timage"), in order to get even more evidence that that
these artifacts actually happen in those regions where the CMYK
colorants make steep transitions (or are crossing steeply). And
obviously, yes, this seems to be the case - so absolutely no
contradiction to your findings, IMO.

Gerhard
