Not a problem on the spectro, I've got the Exrite DTP41UVT.

If you have Onyx Postershop v5 with its Profiler (aka Gretag ProfileMaker)
product and a DPT41 then you shouldn't need to purchase more software. Your
Postershop should of came with a reflective IT8 chart for scanner profiling.
Purchase a transmissive IT8 chart to build transmissive scanner profiles.
As for profiling the Epson 3000, you would be best served if you picked
up a copy of PressReady and created true CMYK profiles for the Epson 3000
instead of relying on Epson's driver for conversion to CMYK.
