Digital BW, The Print

David,

Can you give a hand with this actual data rather than leaving it up in
the air like this? I am willing to put the work in on this side to
make it work on my end. If you can help with your product on your end
- this could be good for everyone. Your Spyder is way cheaper than an
EyeOne or a DTP70 - I think it would be worth your while to help
fashion some process. 

Do you have access to making a simple 256 patch gray target from
0-255? And then supplying it to the users? Or/and can you supply the
Excel conversion process to convert the data to something usable?

Thanks,

jon
