Thanks for your prompt response. I tried different L values for Ref
White and rebuilt the profiles. This changes the soft proof's pure
white value, but doesn't reveal much more detail (if any). I notice my
other profile soft proofs have the same issue. 

It is nice that SpyderPrint lets you make these L value adjustments
for the Ref White and Black, quickly generate a new profile and then
immediately check the soft proof in Photoshop.

One additional question: where does SpyderPrint keep the data files? I
would like to back these up.

Thanks for your help
