I have used the spectrocolorimeter datacolor #1005 of my PrintFixPro package for 2 years, profiling about 40 different papers for color and grayscale with good results. But, just in the last days, measurements of dark patches seem quite strange on the color coordinates in Lab values. For example, here 5 Lab measurements of the step 96 in a 51 steps grayscale, waiting about 5-10 second between them: 1) 7,99 | -2,91 | 1,26 2) 8,25 | -1,29 | -0,9 3) 8,11 | -0,85 | -1,1 4) 8,29 | -0,22 | -2,13 5) 8,00 | -1,47 | 1,28 B value range from 1,28 to -2,13 and I can notice an evident loss of contiguity, for a and b values for dark patches, comparing same paper profiles created in the last days and one month ago. I have repeated the same tests with different sw upgrades, from PrintFix 1.0 to Spyder3Print, on different computers and different usb ports, but nothing to do. Have you any suggestions?
