As you would find in the archives of this list, this is a known issue with 
overly whitened papers. You need to clean your white tile thoroughly with a mild 
cleaning solvent and a WHITENER FREE cloth, such as a lens cloth. Then 
recalibrate and try again. If that does not solve the issue, contact me off-list and 
I'll set you up for tech support or device replacement.

That's what I thought, too. But the Colorimeter shows those weird readings, for other papers the b-value is a lot less, usually about 5-20.

I will clean the white tile as proposed by CDTobie and will try again.

Thank you very much,

Michael Ring
