The fallibility of software, hardware and humanware notwithstanding,
the above instrument has an excentric opinion about some colors as much
as an evenheaded one about others, as the List has remarked in the
past. The trouble then is to know which is which . . .
Dear Henrik
Interesting observation which actually I have not read about before!
Perhaps someone from X-rite would like to comment? My position on this
is that the basis of any measuring device is that it should be
consistent otherwise it's not measuring!
Also any instrument's diagnostic facilities should be able to be relied
on, otherwise it renders the instrument it is designed to verify as
working within specification or calibrated as open to doubt. What's the
point of a ruler when you cannot rely on one inch being an inch or a
centimetre being .......
Cheers
Richard
