 >>I would imagine that most members of this list are
more interested in viewing their prints without the interference of
spikes.

It's tricky; the eye is a three channel broadband colorimeter, not a
grating spectrophotometer, so spikes have less visible effect than one
might think...

Dear David

I find that when making critical colour decisions, having real daylight 
quality light is important.  IMO spiky lighting cannot be relied on for 
making accurate colour decisions, and of course there is inconsistency 
between the light tubes from different manufacturers purporting to be 
selling tubes of graphics quality, then also there is the variation in 
the booths.

Cheers

Richard
