Didn’t try that, will give it a go tomorrow.

The i1 Pro gen 1 instruments were particularly good at filling the little filter cavity with paper dust.
Haha, they are both clean and regularly checked. Visited a client a few years ago who was complaining that his i1 Pro wouldn’t calibrate his screen. I opened it up to find the glass was covered in cracks!
That’s the odd thing about both instruments — they have performed flawlessly in a critical proofing environment and only shown problems in the last month. Because the last 3 months have included a transition to the Spectroproofer ILS20 to ILS30, it looked as if this was related to software issues we’ve been having.
So odd that it is only the 100% cyan patch too — every other patch in the media wedge reads perfectly.

Interesting. Never given this much thought — but now I’ve been bitten I think it’d be a good idea to periodically measure known references and compare the results.
