Roy I have an X-rite Pulse spectrophotometer aka  DTP20.  It measures in LAB.  To check linearity should I use the RGB step wedge print out in QTR or should I convert this to LAB make it linear and then print it out in QTR?

Having done this linearized and made adjustments, I presume I print my R=G=B images in RGB mode in QTR.  Am I understanding this properly?

Thanks,

Colin
