Thanks to everyone for the replies.
I think my version of BasICCcolor s/w supports the iOne monitor colorimeter
and not the iOnedisplay unless I'm doing something wrong with the demo
software?
Oops! just checked on the Basiccolor web site and theres a 2.5.10 version!!
Next step then failing that probably an upgrade for my ageing Digital
Swatchbook ....Ouch!
Regards,
Pete
