Would be nice to see how a "Windows only" machine handle the printing process; even if it's not Eb6, seeing any discrepancies could help to figure it out.
In the meantime, I worked on the Mac side to print a 21-step target unlinearized, then read the patches et typed the results in the unlinearized profile to get a linearized one. Printed again the target with the linearized profile.
Switched to the Win side and did the same procedure but, using QTRGui, I simply copied-pasted the values in the boxes to obtain a linearized profile.
On with the readings (I always wait 24 hours) what I've found is in the same line.
First, the unlinearized prints, the Win side is already flatter than the Mac side.
Second, in the linearized prints version, again the Win side is flatter by a pinch over the Mac side. There is two small "kinks" on the Mac side that I don't see on the Win side.
Now, starting from scratch (means printing in calibration 100% and in calibration 35%) I'll try to create a profile on the Mac side and another one on the Win side.
I'll keep the group up-to-date with it hoping that I can help someone with my results.

I’ll be out of town today, so I can’t try this myself, but the next step would be to compare these results with the output from a non-virtual Windows system. I have never been clear on how virtual PCs handle printing. (I use Parallels.)If no one has tried this by the weekend, I’ll see if I can get a Windows machine up and running, and have a go at it myself. It will have to be different profiles, though, since I don’t use Eb6.Myron
