Thanks for the response.

So it sounds like the combination of my particular printer and the
colorimeter.  My thought was, since it was consistent across all
papers, doing multiple readings and averaging them wasn't going to
help.  Seems that was correct.

A related issue, then.  Once I figured out to apply that preset, I
wanted to edit the measurement file information, so that I would have
a record of what I used (Tools -> Information).  But there is no way
to save the 'Advanced' profile adjustment settings.  It would also be
nice if that menu defaulted to the measurement file you are working on
in it's file selection drop down.  Better yet would be moving the
information function to the "Build Profile Setup" screen.
