I believe that to properly profile something transparent like vellum, 
you need a transmission spectrophotometer (or densitometer for B/W). 
Same goes for backlight film, and things like silk. I know Drycreek 
Photo can generate a profile for these kinds of materials with the 
proper hardware. Anybody with a regular spectro could probably come 
up with a method that would get you real close for everything except 
clear backlight film.
