Digital BW, The Print

Duane were fine,
I've never used it nor am I intimate with it.. just am kinda sorta familiar with it as I've heard of it and have a friend that's used it for a while....Actually it is good it was brought up here .. Color management software is expensive. Question ..does it do 16 bit profiles? I honestly don't know..Constructively it may be a good idea to wring the rag out a bit on this if possible.. If theirs a way to get to a quality level of color management for folks without them having to go broke getting there. ..Well then that's a good thing to look at I guess..

  Hi.
  Sorry for being so terse.I didn't take your question as a knock at all.Actually I was being paged by my better half at the time and trying to get the message off quickly. 
  I don't have anything to do with Argyl other than using it,primarily with a DTP20 pulse spectro, so have no skin in the game beyond being happy it's available.It does seem to have an astounding number of capabilities in the package, most of which I know next to nothing about using.Discussions on it's group are frequently over my head.

  Best,
  Duane

It does support both versions of the DTP 41 (T&R) I remember him saying that .. Correct a freebee is a big deal.. and a great opportunity..

Also you can actually use any spectro that can give you a straight text file by feeding a text file of measurements in via redirection.That came in very handy when I wanted to use measurements from a bench top spherical instrument.

Now use z3100ps HP which has hardware and software on board to create profiles. I have some problems with these profiles and would like to double check them. Anyone suggest the appropriate software to do this with the DPT 41? Prefer Mac but can also do Windows software. J Vee
