spyder calibration

2014-05-20 by joel

Hello,
I’m thinking of purchasing a Spyder Studio calibration ( it has a spectrocolorimeter) unit & was wondering if you can still use X-rite ColorPort software to read the QTR charts. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Joel

Hi Joel,

I do not know anything about the X-rite software, but the Spyder 
spectrocalorimeter has its own software for reading the patches.  Quite a 
while since I used it for this purpose, so cannot remember the details.

Hope this helps,

Cheers

Jim Thyer

Hi Joel
I have a datacolor spectrocolorimeter mode #1005 which I bought second hand.
Before I bought it I contacted Datacolor and explained what I wanted to use
it for. They were vey helpful and even understood QTR and its needs. My
spctrocolorimeter reads the patches perfectly and produces L a and b
readings for each patch. The #1005 model is at least 1 model and probably 2
models older than the one you are considering. The Spyder print software has
a routine for producing QTR format results. Very easy to use but feel free
to contact me if you need help.

Hi Jim,

Thanks. So it can also read the gray patches used in QTR ?
