Status A is the measurement you want but unfortunately the Color Savvy Color 
Mouse Colorimeter does not give accurate density measurements.  I discovered 
that when I compared its measurements with my X-Rite's readings.  I called 
Color Savvy tech support, thinking my unit was faulty, and that's what I was told. 
 

Sometimes I use it for rough readings but never anything critical, like 
curves.  You could use it to compare papers/inks but it won't give you true values.
