That is correct, and is one of the reasons they asked you to upgrade...

Is it important for spectro to calibrate to black as well as white for
proper calibration?


Its important for your spectro to be black calibrated; its not important to recalibrate black in the field. Unlike white, black does not vary with temperature, so the same factory black calibration can be used indefinately.
