QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hi Peter,

I'm very much interested in what extra hardware, if any, you need to make transmission measurements with this software.

I purchased an I1Pro at auction, just the unit - no software, and use it with colorport for reflective measurements.

I did do many searhes on transmissive measurements for it, but came up empty handed. I suspected it could handle them as it can do emissive, but never got my search string to hit a target.

peace out

Glenn

Replacement bulbs are also pricey. These potential expenses can bring it pretty close to the color munki in a hurry.

I looked at the Colormunki Photo, Spyder Print, I1 Pro, .. but they are quite expensive (to start with). I read in the Quadtone RIP manual (2005) about the use of X-Rite 810 densitometer. I found them very cheap on Ebay. Are they usable and trustable, or is this technology to old and do you advice to use newer gear? The X-Rite 810 works via serial port which I don't have anymore on my pc (very new one). But I guess there is a workaround for that.
