Re: [Digital BW] The X-Rite DTP32R... Any Experts Here?

2006-03-26 by davidkeasey

Well, I didn't get the DTP32 to do profiles, but just for linearizing
my ink curves for Quadtone RIP.  And since I won't be doing real
profiles, the <i>certified media</i> calibration strip just seems like
huge overkill.  And I've sent an inquiry to X-Rite about the command
set, but haven't heard back from them as yet.

Thanks,
Dave Keasey
