Thanks for the info.
As Marc mentioned earlier, the SpectroProofer data can also be dragged on to the Measurement icon - which is more convenient than locating the relevant folders in the Finder and then importing the data.
I am disappointed that the software isn't more intuitive or forthcoming with helpful tips when I'm using it though.
It feels as if it has been designed *only* for users who make profiles as a full-time occupation and therefore have the time to experiment with it -- or more likely will be getting paid by their clients while they learn about it on the job…
The rest of us need production tools that can be called upon to create profiles quickly in response to major repair work or the complete swap out of faulty inkjet printers or to meet demands for samples printed on unfamiliar media.
48 hours after making enquiries I still haven't had any response from the UK supplier that we bought the X-Rite hardware and software from or from the UK X-Rite tech person that we know that they contacted.
Not that I should have needed to contact them in the first place - we should have been able to locate the relevant information from within the software or from a manual or on-line resource.
We've been building profiles here forever. On the shelf in front of me is the documentation for every bit of colour management software we've ever used. Scanning along the shelf I can see that I've got more useful and easy-to-understand documentation on the 1999 version of ColorBlind Edit than I have for i1Profiler!
