Digital BW, The Print

Antonis, thanks so much for all this info, this is great. I could have 
made a surer decision had I known all this. I'm just going to add a 
few things, and to Scott Hendershot's last post. I'm not trying to 
sell Spectrocams, just fill in some blanks.

The Spectrocam does do this.

Spectrocam also.

I wish we knew that for sure, but it's a small group of users, little 
chance of there being a variety of profiling software among us. 
Frustratating to only have Colorvision as an option, and I'm not sure 
it's the case.

Scott, it's a joke so don't lament. It throws up maybe 10 colors and  
generates a profile. No oportunity to adjust guns, nada. Probably 
about as useful as Adobe Gamma. You pay extra for it too. The Pro 
version of the software includes this "feature", as well as custom dot 
gain measurements, meaning non CMYK. Not that useful either, you can 
use the standard CMYK dot gain measurement ability for anything you 
need. Don't bother with the Pro upgrade.
I found a beta of an excellent monitor calibration app that supports 
the cam, and Profile City has an excellent app that does as well.
Both "exellent" apps create calibration from my highly acurate device 
for my highly acurate monitor that look...
completely different!
so... pretty happy that's squared away...
Being on my fourth one is a problem, I wasn't happy about it.
Some more mud for you.
