No, a strip reader reads one strip at a time. A strip is a column on
a chart. Which again means that you have to feed the chart as many
times through the instrument as there are columns in the chart.
A chart reader reads the whole chart and not a strip of the chart .
Which again means that it reads all the columns of the chart in a
single pass.
A chart reader requires less manual operator support than a strip
reader. A chart reader also does not have the ability to read the
wrong column in the sequence or read across columns on the chart.
it did not strike me as a portable device or as an easy to move device
The iCColor weighs a couple of kilos and has a bigger footprint than
a DTP41. But the iCColor has an internal paper path that feeds the
paper in at the front and out at the front while the DTP41 requires
as much space at the front as at the back equal to the length of the
chart at both sides of the instrument. There are other reasons for
the larger casing, but the paper path is the main one.
I do so wish it was possible to convince more people to refrain from
calling an instrument a 'device'. It is confusing for users who wish
to work with 'device independent' workflows when the word 'device' is
also used not with reference to color devices i.e. hardware
configurations but with reference to the instruments used to
characterize hardware configurations.
The Eye-One Match UI should distinguish between the Eye-One
instrument and the color device which the instrument is used to
characterize. The ProfileMaker UI has made that distinction since
version 3.0.
