Hi Paul and Jim

As I can't copy and paste (not sure of legality) the following info is available at the XRITE website. It gives definitions of the various types of meters. If you want I will try to get my XRITE rep to respond. But in the mean time read this. Also -- they have a PDF 12 pages long that talks about densitometry -- but you have to be wearing your beanie with the propeller attached <g> as it is pretty technical
