Stephan,
...phew, take one of your yellowish prints and look at it under an old
fashion bulb light (between 40 and 100 Watts) please. Make sure that
no other light comes into the room (from outside or from any other
light source) please let me know if the yellowish print looks obvious
more neutral under the bulb.

Best, 
Peter

PS
I saw that you call the 'spectrocolorimeter' a 'spectro'. If you
continue doing this, the digidog will come along and bark at you! :)
...sorry, that was an insider joke, but I could not resist.
