Measure error Print Fix Pro 2.1

Measure error Print Fix Pro 2.1

2007-08-12 by nhcrovetto

Measuring the white patch or any non printed area of HP Hahnemuhle
Smooth Fine Art I get Lab=3.42, a=-1.79, b=-5,92 Density 2.42 (black).
The same error has the measure tool.
This is the only matter paper that I have now. Measuring white patch
in glossy paper is O.K., for example L=95.07 a=2.33 b=7,86 density=0.06
After calibrating, measuring the white tile of the spectro base I get
L=90.29 a=-0.95 b-1.11.
Please excuse my English.

There is nothing wrong with your English; you have described the situation perfectly. Your white tile value is correct. The paper in question may be overly whitened, making the spectro produce values above L=100, causing the error. This is not good, but then, using a paper with that much whitener in it isn't good either... I have not seen such errors in quite some time, as we had incorporated software fixes to solve this issue. Can you send me the hardware serial number from your spectro, so I can check on it? Please send to not to this whole list...
