Yes - excuse me; I meant the Datacolor Spectrocoloromiter (esp model #1005) which I already have. These pages tell how to use QTR to print a stepwedge and measure the density to linearize and make a curve for use with QTR. Pages 12-16 http://www.quadtonerip.com/User%20Guide.pdf Specifically bottom of page 14 - How do I do that with your Spectrocoloromiter? Can I do that with the software I already have? I'm using WinXP and Spyder3 Print 3.5 Thanks Steven --- In datacolor_group@yahoogroups.com, Cdtobie <CDTobie@...> wrote: > > The Spyder2 and Spyder3 are emissive measurement devices; since your > prints won't be emitting any light, you would need a reflective device > for measuring print output.
