Re: [QuadtoneRIP] Re: Calibration

In Spyder3Print you pull down <Tools> and choose <Calibrate>. Then pull
<Tools> down again and select <Measure>. In the Measure tool click on
<Export to...> and choose a file name and location. Once done you have to
specify either Lab or Density, and then take your measurements.
