By the way, just as an idea - is it possible to make special "cleaning" utility for i1Pro and Spectrolino, which will turn lamp on forcibly for some seconds to "clean" it?
Looks like X-Rite beat me to that - someone pointed out that there is a function exposed in BabelColor PatchTool called "lamp restore" that appears to use a new function in the i1Pro SDK (V4.2.2 or later). See <http://www.babelcolor.com/index_htm_files/PatchTool_Help.pdf> page 87. This sounds a lot like it is intended to deal with what I discovered. [ From my own limited experience with my instruments, I'm wondering if i1Pro2's are more prone to it ? ] It's possibly too that a recent copy of X-Rite's i1Diagnostics also includes such a function, although it doesn't seem obvious what or if it is doing this kind of thing. I'll add an option to ArgyllCMS spotread to diagnose and attempt to fix this problem in i1Pro's as well, and be a bit more up-front about what's going on. Graeme Gill.
