Digital BW, The Print

The same calibrator is being used with two different software packages  
to calibrate the same display. It produces rhe same gray balance both  
times. That implies that it's the calibrator causing the "flavoring"  
of the grays. If he now uses the same software, with a different brand  
of calibrator, I suspect he will get a somewhat different gray  
balance. This can actually be done, by borrowing a Spyder3, and  
running it with ColorEyes.
