I cleaned the spectro with another alcohol (swedish drink alcohol that
I 've never tasted :D)
And it works! Whites are white! I can't believe it!

Prints are very good. It lacks perhaps a little bit of red. 

Contrast with white ref and black ref is quite good but prints are
closer to original than to soft proof.

I won't change my profile for now and will print as it.

Thank you for your help.
