Thanks for the reply. You are absolutely correct. A member contacted
me off list and tipped me to the polarization. It's got to be, because
when I read patches with the XRite 500 in both statusE and T the only
difference is in the yellow. MR told me that they used narrow band on
all the primaries, but I doubt it. Most likely polarization.
We're working on getting the GTI bulbs in the pressroom although GTI
says that the reflectors and geometry in the luminaire would still put
us out of spec.

I work prepress for a printer that installed two MAN Roland 23x29
multicolor presses in the last 4 years or so. The new presses have
scanning densitometers that work in Status-E. The SID cmyk numbers
in Status-E are quite a bit higher than the Status-T the pressroom
had been using prior to these installations. The pressman are, how
should I say it, reluctant to run to the higher numbers, and our
quality, print contrast etc has suffered. The presses also come
installed with D6500 lighting on the console
If the number between Status E and Status T are significantly higher
across the board (rather than just yellow), its likely there is a
polarization filter incorporated as well, no? In any event,
correlating the values from the Status E densitometer to an offline
densitometer (or spectro-dens) measureing Status T might effectively
train the press operators to hit the correct Status E values.
As far as the D65 lighting console, any chance of fitting it with
D50 bulbs?
