Digital BW, The Print

Hello,
I've recently purchased Spyder3 Print Studio SR and made some greysale profiles easily. But when it came to averaging two sets of Lab readings a spreadsheet, I ran into trouble.

The lightness values all seem to be in order, but QTR-Create icc won't parse the readings containing averaged L* values. it says they're out of order - but I can't see where. I've posted the results on my test page: http://www.richardsmallfield.com/archives/test/index.html

The two sets of readings were quite close, so I could just use one or other of the original readings - but would rather be able to use averaged readings for greater accuracy.

If anyone has any clues, please let me know.

thanks,
Richard

Richard,
  i don't see any numbers out of order either. It may be something funny in the delimiters at the end of lines. Have you tried to just go through the motions of averaging one dataset with your spreadsheet? If that doesn't work it's the format not the values you are getting.  Some editors will show you if there are extraneous characters as well.
