Unfortunately with my new EyeOne Pro 2 spectro you can't plug it in and load the data directly into TBW, but with X-Rite ColorPort you can read the numbers from the target and enter them into the TBW software manually.

I've tried this on our 8300, and although the printing side is good, paper handling, especially custom sizes leaves a lot to be desired (metric seems to have been added almost as an afterthought - anyone ever come across A10 roll paper?)

Support for the i1Pro lacked the ability to enter data files from measurements, and entering values by hand make me feeling I'm back on a MS-DOS based PC

I sooo wanted to like the software but not there yet...
