None, I don't like it. I have had experience with it though, with a
friend, so have made a few profiles with it.

I'm not doubting you, but I just haven't seen it, obviously I use a
lot of papers that don't have much bluing, but I've profiled a few
including EEM without problem. This is with ProfilerPro, EyeOne Photo,
and ErgoSoft GPS.
So maybe it's a sftware dependant phenominon?

What do you think of the Pulse? I've been suspecting my old Spectrocam
was better than the i1 before it went wonky. Had great software too.

I really apreciate that. Let's wait untill my 9800 gets here, along
with StudioPrint support. Then I'll be knee deep in setup and
profiling for weeks.
