Tom,

Your post crossed my previous one. This makes sense. Indeed, based on 
your first instruction, I used the QTR-RGB-LAB profile. I can 
understand that the QTR-RGB-Matte Paper profile should make a 
difference (suspecting it to have a L-value range lower than 0-100).

Remains the careful need of te viewing booth...
