I think that only white is bad during measurement. The efect is bad
soft proof as you said (I said psychedelic :D)
Is it technically possible?
I hope that cleaning it will resolve it. I need a good profile now
(100 A3 to print).

Prints are quite good when calibrated on the paper itself (I know it
is bad). A little bit of yellow, but very slight. Soft proof is not
contrasted but prints are have a good contrast. I can't explain it, it
is what I see.

If you open the measurement files I gave, you may see that only whites
are bad during measurement but I'm not a calibration professional and
I don't speak fluently Lab (neither english!).
