Has anyone tried out the Gretag Spectrolino with the 8mm apeture?
Their web site says it's good
for large format printers. Is this something I might be needing to
read color management charts
from super format printers (billboards, truck wrap size printers).
The fewer dots a printing technology lays down in a given area, the
more important is your sampling method. It makes a difference whether
you wind up recording 5 dots or 15, for instance.
a. the standard Spectrolino has an aperture of 3.5 mm and you can set
it to multi-sample a patch using the step-and-repeat command in the
MeasureTool module of GretagMacbeth ProfileMaker 3.0 and higher,
b. the large aperture Spectrolino has an aperture of 8 mm that
integrates more dots in one go, as it were,
c. the Eye-One Pro has an aperture of 4.5 mm that integrates more
dots than the standard Spectrolino but not as many as the large
aperture Spectrolino,
d. the Eye-One Pro additionally supports a non-spot scanning mode
with multiple which means that it samples multiple times across each
patch for an averaging effect similar to (a) above.
