Hi everyone,

 I have Spyder3Elite and Spyder3Print and after some learning curve
 have been absolutely satisfied with these. 

 My message is a bit off-topic. I am doing a study project where
 I would need to measure & compare the spectral reflectance curves for
some pigment blends.
 Basically I'm studying the colour metamerism and ways to overcome it.
 The project will be progressing on quite iterative basis, so I need
 to be able to measure samples on the run.


 As I'm doing this on a students budget buying a brand new 
 spectrophotometer is probably out of the questions. The
 prices seemed to be astronomical even for the used ones.


 Is it possible to measure/export spectral reflectance curve with
 Spyder3Print?
 Or is the device - as I think it is due to the measurement technology
- a tristimulus colorimeter?


 Or if somebody happens to have a computer-attachable
spectrophotometer capable of
 measuring the reflectance curve between 420nm - 680nm
 they'd be willing to sell for a reasonable price, please make me an
offer to my email kirjoituskone@....
 Older ones (those X-Rite serial port things etc) would do just fine,
I really just need to measure the reflectance curve.
 Ergonomics and measurement speed are not my main considerations in
this situation..
