So my new question is regarding spectro drift:
Can I calibrate the spectro in the morning and read targets all day?
Or do I need to calibrate the spectro more often than every six hours?
Every four hours, in the case of PrintFIX PRO, more often at the user's discretion, from the Tools menu. For more relative work (printer profiles, believe it or not, are quite relative; after all, the results are going to get stretched from paper white to ink black, no matter what the absolute values are) theres no reason to worry about it. If you are trying to take absolute readings, like D-max values for given paper and ink combos, then I'd recalibrate first.
