My Spectrolino/KeyWizard setup has actually run a bit smoother on our G4 than
the older PowerMac 9600, but have noticed problems with crashing in-general for
some time. I understand that most of the newer updates of GretagMacbeth
software usually run better on the Windows platform, but would also appreciate
improved updates for newer Mac OSs'.
We also use the GretagMacbeth SpectroEye, which is an LCD-display
spectrophotometer, fully capable of measuring ink trap, dot area, as well as
many spectrophotometric functions. A very capable and reliable device.

I ended up buying an Xrite 518 for densitometry work. the 'Lino is OK if you
