Thanks David for taking your time to help out.

I get the measured L value of the first patch about 17. If I adjust the L of the reference black point to 3 in the advanced edit, the softproof result looks much better. 

It seems to me that the measure of the black patch is not very accurate enough. If this is true, SpyderPrint should be able to automatically adjust the black reference point to get the best result.

Yes, I sent you the measurement file.
