You can try basICColor print 5 (download from www.basiccolor.de and free 14 days try-out period). I made a maxGCR profile with max black width, 100% K and 270% TAC (which I would never use in real life), which still holds 45% Y.
Karl I’ve downloaded it and it works very well (and with the yellow as I’d expect from the 52 data). Maybe it is time to move on from i1Profiler… and do it before £1 = €0.5 :( Regards -- Martin Orpen Idea Digital Imaging Ltd

Having taken a closer look, BasICColor Print is also producing poor relative intent separations from the 52 data. The neutral rendering is just as questionable as i1Profiler’s — the only difference being that X-Rite’s engine maintains the hideous blue blacks and BasICColor neutralises it. The magenta plummets by 30% between L31 & L28, while yellow climbs by 20% and cyan drops 6%. I’ve never seen results this bad from any other data set. It’s ridiculous having a *standard* that requires massive editing before repro houses can create an ICC profile that matches the generic profiles published by the ECI. -- Martin Orpen Idea Digital Imaging Ltd
