Digital BW, The Print

With all due respect, it can't calculate the profile 2 1/2 minutes faster than the Pulse.  My pulse calculates the profile in a matter of seconds.  I've just got a run of the mill pc.

There seems to be some confusion between this device( Datacolor 1005), and the much 
older serial device from ColorSavvy. This device takes readings in .67 seconds (it was 
several seconds, and a very stiff button on the ColorSavvy device), so that reading the 225 
patch target (all that most profiles require) is about a four minute affair. 729 patches can 
be read in under 20 minutes. Some beta testers may report longer times, as earlier betas 
had a built in lag on some systems. This has been dealt with, and the times I note here are 
practical on reasonably fast hardware... if your machine (or your reflexes) are a bit slower, 
it may be a bit  longer. Given that the profile calculating time is about 2 and a half minutes 
faster than with Pulse, for many profiles its a wash; for high patch profiles its slower, and 
in any case its well less than half the price... <G>
