CM2C and Profiler

2006-01-13 by Greg

I've used this combination in the past, and it worked fairly well. But 
when I switched to an Xrite DTP22, I was able to get better results. 
Keep an eye on ebay for a DTP22 Digital Swatchbook, best if you can get 
the newest series, and make sure that it is a real DTP22 Digital 
Swatchbook! Xrite made several OEM versions, and those are not 
supported! Also make sure it has the correct calibration standard, the 
serial numbers must match on both the spectro and the cal. standard. If 
you find one with the UV filter, even better. As of about a year ago, a 
complete rebuild was around $400-$450, and that included putting the UV 
filter in the spectro. A regular check-up was much cheaper. Also keep 
your eyes out for i1 revision A spectros, again better if you get one 
with the UV filter.

And of course you should look for things like a DTP41 that might go for 
next to nothing, or some other supported tool.

The DTP22 will not be any faster than the CM2C. And if you happen to 
have the CM2S, then ignore it all and just keep using that device.
