Bottom line, is the ICColor any good?
I must have built close to 600 profiles using it. It produces the data to
build great profiles. It was very finicky early on but two new Firmware
upgrades have help a great deal whereby it's quite consistent. I only wish
GMB would make a Mac OSX Firmware updater! I find that if you take the
little back door off so the paper path is straight, it's a lot easier to
measure long strips. The unit is very fast. I've had no UV issues since PMP
handles this. The new version of PMP 5 allows you to measure and stop the
process and pick up where you left off. I mention this because every now and
then, for some reason I haven't figured out, the unit will do a
initialization/calibration mid-stream and you had to start measuring from
scratch. That's no longer an issue. If you are measuring multiple targets,
you can pick up where you left off after saving the data file.
I did a few 10485 patch targets for the beta just for the heck of it. I have
a half dozen or more Spectrophotometer's but the iCColor was the only unit a
sane person would ever try this on. Took about an hour. For the TC918
target, I can measure it in about 10 minutes.
I've never heard (or seen) this color bias you mention.
