I have both an i1pro and an Iccolor and, for the life of me, I am not
finding such a huge color difference when I turn on Correct for optical
brightners. So much so that I always leave it off now. I tend to think that
measuring with optical brightener on is superior to measure off: I would
never buy another uv-fitted instrument in my life again. It just distorts
the measurement and I always end up with some cast in my profiles.

Roger, is your ICCOLOR and/or Eye-One UV-Fitted? I thought that if the
DEVICE itself were UV-Fitted, then it (the device) would filter out any UV
Brighteners BEFORE the measurements even got to the software. Thus making
the UV check box in PM unnecessary. And for those that were NOT using a UV
Filter, they had the option of correcting in software by using the check
box.
As to your ending up with a cast, that is the reason why I would never buy a
N0N uv-fitted device. My Ideal situation would be to have one of each so
that when profiling a stock that definitely has no Brighteners, I can leave
the filter off (I see filter off like a Raw High-Bit Scan, <So to say>).
Having read past post about the issues (yellow cast) people were having
while profiling papers with Optical Brightners, I would rather use the
UV-Fitted device. At the very least and to my knowledge, only GM has that
switch. So, if you which to correct for optical Brightners in another
software, it could help to have it.
Gretag has made the choice like ordering a Philly CheeseSteak, "Wit [cheese]
or Wit out".
