Re: [Digital BW] QuadTone RIP and densitometers used?

2003-11-13 by Roy Harrington

It just occurred to me that the MeasureTool supports lots of different
spectrophotometer and densitometers.  In addition to the Eye-One
it looks like a bunch of SpectroCam products, and X-Rite products.
So it's quite possible that any of these hardware products could be
driven by MeasureTool and output the same data files and have the
QTR scripts take advantage of them.

If anyone has these other densitometers it would be great to know
if this works.
