i tried with fmx dithering and it seems to be ok - well at least closer to whats on my screen

SO Difussion is recommended normally, but will depend on maker of the profile.

What are your "Color Settings" -> Rendering Intent Tab settings?

Where did you get the Oracal Profile?

Click on the Rendering Intent tab and screenshot it here.

Hard to see so enlarge or zoom if possible.

I would recommend changing the Vector, Text, Gradient all to Relative Colorimetric

What inks are you running in the SP-300?

Calibrating your Monitor with the output of your printer is not an always easy task at all.

I would recommend the video here, small cost.... Mark Rugen's www.givemehelp.com is a great resource
