This device has not gotten much respect from color consultants. This may be
in part due to a difference between what its designed to do, and what they want
it to do. If you think of it as simply a handy device for grabbing a color
from a printed source, and spec-ing the closest Pantone spot color to it, then
you should be quite happy with it. If you try to make it do stunts, measure
delta-e differences, build profiles, and give you the same value as a measured
patch in any old Pantone fan deck you happen to have, then you may be
dissapointed. Please keep in mind, when you race it against your SpectroLino, that its
not actualy giving you the Lab value of the patch you measure, but rather the
Lab value of the Pantone color that it chooses as the closest match for that
sample.
