Thanks Henrik,
I'd like dig a bit more into this ...

We do work on a gray canvas background and are currently using
Photoshop.
I don't think this is the problem here. I measure a Lab WP of
92/1/-3 and have to change it to 97/1/0 to make the screen2paper
match better.

The profile I am at right now is meant for offset printing. I wonder why
- except for legal issues - editing the wp would harm the process as
going onto original paper I'd do the conversion in RelCol anyway.
Plus I have the better softproofing after editing te WP tag.
I'm learning ...
