Digital BW, The Print

David,

I have a user on this list right now trying this with a DTP70. We hope
to have a K7 profile made this morning.

Do you think that the Spyder software has enough documentation to
allow Brian to create his own 256 grayscale patch target, measure it,
and save the L data that makes sense in relation to the target? Or do
you think you need to get involved?

Thanks,


Jon
