I think one of the things I will try today is going thru all the filters
that come with the Spectrolino (No filter, UV, D65 and Polarizer) and see
which comes closest to giving me a decent profile with the 5500 with a
minimum of editing necessary.
I thought it was very interesting that Andrew Rodney stated that on a 10000
that he profiled recently that the proof was closest when viewed under
tungsten light. I've found the EXACT SAME THING with the 5500. When put in
my 5K viewer they are consistently too green/yellow but when pulled out and
viewed under household incandescent they look pretty good. Could be that
Epson has somehow "tuned" the inks/5500 to work best under typical tungsten
lighting?
