Hi,
I 'm looking into the question of consistency, a way of checking printer profiles regarding the ongoing discussion about Snow Leopard color handling.
The idea I had was to print a synthetic color checker and compare visually with the original color checker, also to measure each field and compare to older data.
Recently I observed that colors (a and b values) are pretty close but lumonisity (L) is pretty much different between print and reference. Am I doing something wrong?
The enclosed screendump shows correct values for each field in red and measurement in blue.

The way I made this was that I downloaded a synthetic CC from Bruce Lindblom's site. This one is in Lab-space and correctly tagged, I think. The synthetic CC was imported into Lightroom 2.6 and printed using a profile created with my Color Munki using relative colorimetric intent.
So it seems that my print is darker than intended.
Any explanation would be much appreciated.
Best regards
Erik
