A quick glance to the bottom of your post indicates you may be using the
Spectralino. Make sure to try measurements with the "U" (for unfiltered) and
"UV" (for ultraviolet) filters. See which you like better.
If you are using ProfilemakerPro I would recommend trying relative
colorimetric intent when converting from working color space to output color
space. ProfilemakerPro seems to employ a little too much gamut compression
on "in gamut" colors via perceptual rendering for my tastes. I find it
better to correct out of gamut colors manually. Especially with the Light
Jet this is usually not a huge problem.
In fact for my personal (as opposed to commercial) work I have abandoned
perceptual rendering intent altogether, I prefer doing the gamut compression
manually. The beauty of Photoshop version 6 is it makes this task so much
easier for RGB devices such as the light jet.
I think of perceptual rendering as working similar to an auto-exposure,
auto-focus camera. Works great some of the time, not so great some of the
time. If I have the time available I'd rather do it by hand. If production
demands are high or the quality standard not so rigorous that is another
story.
