Re: 1005 Spectrocolorimeter Problem

2009-02-14 by shileshjani

CD,

The tile is clean, and I have the latest version of Spider3Print. I 
have tried calibrating it on the very paper I measure, and yet the 
same paper white comes out yellow. This is not slightely yellow, it 
is SATURATED yellow. See my original post below. FWIW, density in the 
Dmax range is reading what I expected.
