Re: all profiles have too much yellow

Thanks for your response.  Have fun in Europe.
I will wait for a volunteer.
As a lark to test the OBA theory I calibrated the spectro on the 
Lexmark paper instead of the stand.  It caused the yellow to go away, 
but caused some of the darker grays to posterize to yellows and blues.
