Well, in transmission mode even at DTP41UV/T doesn't use UV filtering. The UV filters are only placed over the light source for reflection readings, not for transmission.
Today the use of UV filtering or not is a at least as much a matter of conviction as it is a matter of practicality. From a pure color science point of view it would seem that no UV filtering should be used. From a practical solution standpoint I've only seen one occasion where someone who had a UV model DTP41 asked to have the filter removed. On the other hand I've overnighted DTP41UV's several times to consultants who were on site and the customer had purchased a non-UV model and the paper whitener was giving the software fits. The bottom line for me is even with those programs that are trying to handle UV at the software level the process is still highly variable. And personally I've never had a time where using the UV has gotten me into trouble (and of course I have the luxury of having both!)

What about profiling backlit media such as Duratrans? Would it be better to
use a non UV DTP41?
I am trying to grasp all the info I am getting. So far, reading between the
lines, many say that UV should not be used at all - untill you get errors.
Is this right in most cases?
btw - This instrument will be used with Monaco PROFILER.
