Brian and David was Re: [Digital BW] Profiling with Dedicated B&W Inks

2008-12-12 by Jon Cone

Paul,

Does the Spyder read single patches or rows? I am under the impression
it reads rows or is semi-automated to eliminate human error. It would
seem the type on your target might get picked up by the reader unless
the software eliminates it. Human error is a bad bad thing in any form
of precision profiling.

If it is a single patch reader I would think it would take about 20
minutes to accurately read 256 patches. Why am I in the dark about
this device????


The 256 patch DTP70 target is here:

The EyeOne target is here:

I have targets also for the DTP-20, DTP-40, and the EyeOne iO, and
even the old Gretag SpectraScan (wonderful device but needs older
operating systems.)
