Re: Target Measurements Spyder3Print vs. SpyderPRINT

2012-04-21 by edknightphoto

Thanks for the quick response, David! All files found & usable for profiling.

Agree the Spectro was a driver issue, just thought the prog upgrade would refresh the driver & it did.

Thanks, again

But, SpyderPRINT doesn't see them for profile building, it only sees a) those you pre-loaded (e.g. EpsonR4800EnhMatte Colors.xml) and b) those I just created with SpyderPRINT. Are measurement files created by the 2 program versions compatible or do I need to reread the old target prints?
