Very true. I have mixed feelings about the built in spectro. You do
still need to let the ink dry before measuring it, so having it built
into the printer may not be the best idea. I worked with a guy in
London to make some profiles for his HP DJ130. He found that the self
calibration was very different if he let the print dry for a couple of
days before running it back through the printer to be measured.
Normally the print only dries for a few moments before it gets
measured. He found much less blocking in the near black areas by
letting it dry.

If they want to give the users the ability to do things like this, I
think it would be better if they had just included the hand operated
spectro in the box with the printer. Just my opinion... take it for
what it's worth.
