Maybe your paper is yellowish despite the visual appearances to your eyes.
The white might actually be a cream.  Since you get the same results using
two different computers, that would be the first thing to eliminate.  Have
you tried to measure a variety of white papers to see if they all report as
yellowish?

Subject: [colorvision_group] 1005 Spectrocolorimeter Problem

 

Hello All,

I am new to this group. After a few months hiatus, I am trying to use 
my 1005 Spectro for measuring densities. This is from a PrintFix Pro 
Suite. Using the measurement tool, I calibrate the Spectro, and when 
I measured the paper white, I noticed a strange result of yellow 
reading. So I went back and directly measured the calibrating tile. 
Same result. My whites are measuring yellow:
L=90.06
a=-24.69
b=80.89

I have tried to post a screen grab in this folder

It is pending moderator approval.

I connected the Spectro to an older computer running PrintFix Pro 1 
version, and I get the same result.

Please help.
